OK, let's consider this. First, we are a private club, are we not? And membership IS pretty much open to anybody with the money to join. However, it stands to reason that an applicant would be turned down when the membership doesn't want him. OK, so he sues. Can't you just see his attorney explaining to the Judge that, in spite of the membership's overwhelming objections, Mr. Hunte REEEEEEALLY wants to belong to the club? How many people want to be in the company of others who shudder at their presence? Not too many sane people, I think......... BTW - three of the Nine are up for re-election this year.
