Opponents weigh in on Supreme Court Mojave cross decision Vets win Supreme Court victory in ‘Mojave cross’ case The US Supreme Court on Monday let stand an earlier ruling by the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals, which sided with the two couples. The couples object to Boy Scout policies that exclude boys and adults who are atheists, agnostics, or homosexuals.
