Perhaps democrats will not attempt to take control of the Young Republicans.
But I think there is a good chance that socially liberal Christians may take
control of a conservative Christian group that can't protect its doctrinal
beliefs through its membership policy.
By the way, it is clear that the CLS allows all comers to attend its meetings.
This case is strictly about who can control an organization's beliefs and
speech, not about who may attend meetings.
I have read the oral argument transcript several times. And it is clear to me
that Breyer believes an all comers membership policy is silly and completely
inconsistent with a marketplace of ideas in which many groups with different
beliefs debate and express different ideas from very different perspectives.
