Win the Case and Still Foot the Bill
Posted By Ardellis on September 28, 2006
That the US House of Representatives could even think that it might be a good idea to prevent civil rights groups like the ACLU from recovering expenses when they win a First Amendment case is completely mindboggling to me. Protecting the separation of church and state shouldn’t be a bankrupting enterprise, when the plaintiff is found to be in the right. Can you say “chilling effect,” boys and girls?
No, it’s not really expected to get past the Senate, but still. Ghastly.
Here’s the story in yesterday’s Washington Post. Link via Religious Right Watch.
