'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Does that mean my company can fire me because of my religion too? Where are the boundaries drawn?
I don't know First Amendment all that well, so there's only so well I can parse this. My impression is that no, your organization does not use its membership "expressively", whereas the Scouts do.
They also could have asked Fred Flintstone. What's he gonna eat at the drive-in, now that brontosaurus burgers are no more?
Brontosaurus:apatosaurus :: chilean sea bass:patagonian toothfish?
And not recieving federal funding qualifies as an undue burden?
I haven't read the case. All I know is the NPR para, so I assumed the burden would be not being able to discriminate in hiring on the basis of religion.

Interesting. I wonder if some of the touchy feeling corps that blossomed in the 90s that give their employees twee designations are being expressive, or if when it comes down to the paperwork it's just a semantic dance.
I didn't think of Sally Ann as expressive in that way, but I do know precious little about them.
I try not to get upset about brontosauruses and Pluto since, ultimately, the eight year olds are right-- pandas ARE bears.
bon bon, I found this [link] which discusses the case. It's over year old, though. I have no idea whether or not the site or piece is objective.
What's Sally Ann?

It only discusses the allegations, not the actual decisions, but it looked to me that it would answer many people's questions about the case. It doesn't talk about expressive association, however, so I was probably wrong to assume that.
Speaking of things legal, has anyone else looked at this? [link]
Apparently the Indiana legislature wants to make it illegal for homosexual or single people to use artificial insemination. 'Cause that's . . . any of their business?
Heh. I checked to see if ohhellno.com was a website, just for the hell of it. Their 403 error message is sort of demandy.
