Is NAMBLA unconstitutional? Should it be illegalized? Why hasn't the government tried to crack down on NAMBLA support groups? If they have, why don't there seem to be any results?
(In case you don't know... NAMBLA stands for the North American Man/Boy Love association. My take on it- these men want a way to justify their attraction to and illegal encounters with young boys- a.k.a pedophilia. It should be stopped. The NAMBLA encourages "sexual freedom" but most "boys" don't reach physical sexual maturity until the age of 15; yet even at this age they are still discovering what changes are going on in their body- they are confused and easily manipulated by those around them, especially male role models.)

I agree, I think the NAMBLA should be illegalized, as it is a support/activist group for pedophiles, just like Al-Qa'eda is for Islamic terrorism. Pedophiles like those in NAMBLA pose a threat to kids, just as terrorists pose a threat to us all.
If you're looking for an answer to how to help make NAMBLA illegal, I haven't got a real answer - because I don't really think the Government really cares about issues like this until something comes along and forces the issue (such as evidence of abuse within NAMBLA meetings coming to light).
But if and when this happens, make sure you can rally all the people you can to invoke the Government into a serious reaction.

The idea that there is such an organization as NAMBLA is sickening. The man who molested my nephew was a NAMBLA member. When he was prosecuted, his membership and activities in NAMBLA were used against him in determining his guilt. It is my understanding that NAMBLA is very heavily infiltrated by members of federal and state law enforcement agencies (in some areas, they constitute 50 % of the membership). So, as sickening as NAMBLA is, it does draw the roaches out in to the open where they can be squashed.

The relevant issue with NAMBLA as far as constitutionality goes is that in this country it is not illegal or unconstitutional to espouse IDEAS, no matter how reprehensible those ideas might be to some of us. They do walk a fine line with respect to the inciting criminal behavior issue in their advocacy of certain behaviors, however, I believe they get around this by advocating for the LEGALIZATION of those activities, not the activities themselves. Thus, again, protected speech. Until they ACT on those beliefs and, in so doing, violate the law, they are staying just to the legal side of it.

possibly it counts for consequently lots greater suitable than not something, yet actually you want an lawyer to furnish you a competent answer. confident, you're able to have a minimum of one witness and a few verification of the date it substitute into made; putting a replica on report with a competent third celebration (including an lawyer) enables to boot. Even interior the U. S., the degree to which a will of any sort may be contested varies from state to state, so i might hesitate to guess the way it rather works in Canada.

I am pretty sure there are not any exceptions, secret or otherwise, to the first amendment. So, as as a result, we hve such groups as nambla, kkk, any number of white sumprecists, nazi party, fox news, etc.
If you think this isn't fair or right, the constitution clearly spells out the process by which it can be changed. Get to it!

The ACLU will continue to represent NAMBLA.

I agree that it sounds like pedophilia to me. Men and boys... boys are defined as minors, which makes it pedophilia. And in that case, it should not be legal to have a group that promotes illegal activity.

No they are safe from prosecution. Anyone working for ACLU must be a NAMBLA member or supporter.
