Would it be unconstitutional? I was never a great government student, but unless they're an organization recieving government funds, shouldn't they be able to include or exclude members as they see fit? (I'm all for letting the guy stay in the club, just trying to decide if this would actually be something in the states that the government could get involved in)
I know, for example, that an all male college near me can continue to exclude women as long as they are 100% privately funded. The day they accept money from Uncle Sam is the day they have to accept women. It seems that by the same token, a privately funded group would be able to exclude someone on the basis of their political beliefs.
