Supreme Court voids local sign ordiance
Some good news: In a 9-0 ruling the Supreme Court struck down a local Arizona town’s ordiance that restricted a church’s right to post signs about its upcoming events.
What is most encouraging about this ruling is that all nine justices agreed to it. This suggests that there is a strong majority on the court that supports freedom of speech, and will not look kindly at the Obama administration’s effort to impose its will on the speech and activity of religious and conservative organizations.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

“The only supporters for the town were groups representing local government, which said in court papers the ordinance was legal in part because the restriction imposed on the church was the same one that other churches and civic groups advertising public events were bound by.”
Basically they are saying that because other churches didn’t bring this to court then its obviously legal.
Sort of the basis for liberal legal theology/philosophy.
Pass whatever law they want and enforce it until its struck down by the SC. Until then its legal.
How would they like it if a law was passed stating that gay people couldn’t adopt children?
Enforce it until struck down by the SC.
Then pass one stating that no child should be housed in a domicile with 2 or more homosexual people also residing there.
Then after thats struck down pass one stating that gay couple can only adopt children not of their genetic sex.Gay men can only adopt girls and gay women can only adopt boys.
Then after thats stuck down we could pass a law stating that all homosexual households with any children in them must have a permanent resident of the other sex in the home. To give the children balance and a better learning experience.
Harassment laws can be passed going the other way. The liberals should learn that message.
As soon as this sign law stated content was a basis for any restrictions then it was a targeted law.
And who was targeted? Any and all groups that did not have a political or ideological message.
Which leaves who? Churches and what else?
