It turns out those other 35 words protect free speech, free association, free assembly and free exercise of religion. The ACLU knows all about those words and has even used them to protect the right of Nazis to hold a public rally in Skokie, Illinois. Skokie was home to a large number of Holocaust survivors, so the City wanted the Nazis to provide insurance for their rally. Apparently requiring insurance is discrimination under those other 35 words.

I wanted to know why the ACLU couldn't use some of those words to protect the Boy Scouts.

"They can't do that," Twilley said. "It would make their whole lawsuit seem frivolous. Besides, the ACLU might need those words later, incase the Girl Scouts get uppity."
