2257 Ruling--FINALLY

[Chop Smith]

Chad, thanks for posting your opinions.

I just had to capture a section of you post. "The sky is falling on all non-FSC members" fund raising tactics caused lots of friction on this board.

The DOJ must treat all persons equally under the Constitution, so constitutionally even though the Judge’s language only protects FSC members, the Equal Protection language of our Constitution says the DOJ cannot enforce those provisions against a non-member while ignoring a member. The FSC deserves to use this victory in its membership drive, but it should not deceive people by telling them they are not protected unless they are members of FSC. In reality, this ruling does protect everyone.
