Are you a CA judge who participates in Boy Scouts of America? Not anymore, as state's Supreme Court unanimously, self-righteously imposes ban.

"When the California Supreme Court voted last week to prohibit state judges from belonging to nonprofit youth organizations that practice discrimination, Julia Kelety was not surprised. The issue, which had been roiling through the legal community for the last year, had triggered vigorous debate, giving Kelety, a Superior Court judge in San Diego County, time to prepare. Committee chair for Boy Scout Troop 24, she has already begun to consider a successor before she begins dialing back her commitment to the 30 boys in her troop. Although the court's unanimous decision did not explicitly mention the Boy Scouts of America, there was littleoubt that it was the intended target. The organization, which lifted its ban on openly gay boys younger than 18, still prohibits gay and lesbian adults from serving as staff or voluntary leaders." -- Thomas Curwen, the Los Angeles Times
