This is great and I hope the president and many senators/representative jump on board quickly.
Does anyone know if the Christian legal funds are allowed to get reimbursed by the government the same way the ACLU does, whether you win or lose a case?
The ACLU has all the incentive in the world to keep filing lawsuits becasue they will always be making money at the taxpayers expense.
I expect a big dog-fight over this from the ACLU and the Dims.

Here's what happened in Georgia recently:

An anonymous Barrow County resident sued the county in September of 2003 to remove the display, which hung in the breezeway of the county courthouse. Ten Commandments - Georgia pledged to pay for the fight, and has already paid the county $213,436.14. The group must still raise $52,000.

The county settled the suit in July and paid the ACLU and the anonymous resident $150,001 in taxpayer dollars last month. Ten Commandments - Georgia refused to give any money for the settlement.

Note: $150,000 went to the ACLU, and the resident got $1.
