Does expressive association threaten society's commitment to diversity?
Mike McConnell responded to this concern in his brief for the Boy Scouts in Dale. The argument is that not only does expressive association not threaten diversity, it is absolutely essential to the very idea of diversity. McConnell put it like this: "A society in which each and every organization must be equally diverse is a society which has destroyed diversity."
Do you understand the point Mike was making here?
How does it relate to the CLS ?
The web log for Prof. Duncan's Constitutional Law Classes at Nebraska Law-- "[U]nder our Constitution there can be no such thing as either a creditor or a debtor race. That concept is alien to the Constitution's focus upon the individual. In the eyes of government, we are just one race here. It is American. " -----Justice Antonin Scalia If you allow the government to take your liberty during times of crisis, it will create a crisis whenever it wishes to take your liberty.
