It seems to me like Madison, Wisconsin, is breaking the law ...
"Congressional Act of 9 March 1906
We Honor Our Fallen Ancestors
(P.L. 38, 59th Congress, Chap. 631-34 Stat. 56)
Authorized the furnishing of headstones for the graves of Confederates who died, primarily in Union prison camps and were buried in Federal cemeteries.
Remarks: This act formally reaffirmed Confederate soldiers as military combatants with legal standing. It granted recognition to deceased Confederate soldiers commensurate with the status of deceased Union soldiers."

Sure it’s illegal. So are a lot of things the Left does BUT they can do ANYTHING they want because frankly...WHO IS GOING TO STOP THEM? Obama taught them this lesson and they learned well. Legal? Illegal? It doesn’t matter if there is nobody to stop you.
