Patton@Bastogne - I can see the IRS using it's statute against religious institutions, such as Bob Jones University v. United States, but the SCOTUS is a political animal as well (no matter what people think, and I think you know this). Bob Jones University v. United States is the only case I know of that the SCOTUS ruled on concerning the use of 501-C3 against a religious institution; but this was a case of racial discrimination, unlike what is happening in Houston. It has been churches, especially Black churches, (I.E., CA) that have spoken out against homosexuality. There is serious doubt that SCOTUS would support the IRS on this one if they tried to stifle churches that speak out against homosexuality.

"Homophobia" is the NEW 1960's "Racism" ...
The SCOTUS gang can't even get Obama to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act.

You know ... we "used" to say the same thing about "ObamaCare" and SCOTUS ...
Of course, that ship has already sailed ... and been torpedoed.
