Federal Judge Rules Parts of Church Land-Use Law Unconstitutional
Groups plan to help Elsinore Christian Center appeal zoning case.

A California district judge has declared a portion of the law aimed at helping houses of worship overcome land-use disputes unconstitutional.

In a little-noticed ruling filed June 24 in the U.S. District Court of the Central District of California, Judge Stephen V. Wilson said Congress "redefined First Amendment rights" by passing the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) of 2000.

Ahilan Arulanantham, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer... thanks again for not disappointing me, ACLU

"...and may not have remembered the 1985 meeting when questioned by immigration officials."

Scooter Libby was indicted for not remembering...and the ACLU uses that reasoning as a base for a lack of culpability.

I wonder if Libby can use the same defense?

And Sandra Day is upset we take exception to judges?
We should publicly stone some of these turds.

U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson ruled that Aiad Barakat, one of the so-called "L.A. eight," will be naturalized, said Ahilan Arulanantham, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer who litigated the case.
Barakat's citizenship application had been denied last year by immigration officials, and his lawyers appealed in federal court.

So, the USCIS should have simply done what it does to many other naturalization applicants after they have completed every step except the oath: take years to complete the background checks, thereby never allowing or denying the application.

USCIS seems to lose essential papers for many applicants. Why can't they simply concentrate on losing the papers of undesirable immigration applicants?

Or, the USCIS should have revoked this guy's permanent residency visa and deported him before rejecting his naturalization application.

This is an OUTRAGE, and obviously, this is an ACTIVIST JUDGE!
