Judge throws out Jesus!
The number of attacks against us Christians is on the rise Brothers and Sisters. 
Latest terrorist attack from the ACLU here.
Not only are they destroying the SOUL of the USA, they are getting paid for it as well.
Next thing you know, Christianity will be Verboten.
To know peace, obey These Laws. Beautiful in its simplicity. Brings a tear to my eyes. Gone forever...
Time to replace Mr. Lemelle, friends. "Ivan"? Hes probably a commie.

Federal Judge Rules Jesus Painting in Louisiana Courthouse Was Unconstitutional
Thursday, April 17, 2008
NEW ORLEANS — Displaying a portrait of Jesus in the foyer of a Louisiana courthouse is unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled this week, siding with civil libertarians who sued over the display.
But inserting Jesus within a group portrait of historic figures at the courthouse is permissible, the judge said.
In a ruling filed Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Ivan Lemelle awarded "nominal" damages plus attorneys' fees and costs to the American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana in its case against Slidell City Court, Judge James Lamz and St. Tammany Parish, which partially finances the court.
Lemelle said during a hearing last September that he would have ordered court officials to remove the Jesus icon if they hadn't already expanded the display to include portraits of other historic "lawgivers," including Moses, Charlemagne and Napoleon Bonaparte.
His ruling this week echoes those remarks and explains that the expanded display is constitutional because a reasonable observer wouldn't see it as sending a religious message.
However, Lemelle concluded that the plaintiffs' constitutional rights were violated by the original display, which depicted Jesus presenting the New Testament above the words, "To Know Peace, Obey These Laws."
