Boldt v. Boldt: Difference between revisions

The US Supreme Court in October turned down a father’s petition  in  Boldt  v  Boldt.  The  boy’s  father,  who  converted  to  Judaism  and  wants  his  son  circumcised,  was unhappy with the decision of the Oregon Supreme Court to  determine  the  wishes  of  the  child,  and  appealed  to the  US  Supreme  Court,  alleging  the  child’s  wishes  are irrelevant.  Fortunately,  the  right  of  the  boy  was  paramount in the court’s decision.
