even the East Contra Costa Democratic Club have used the county's library facilities.

Allowing a religious group to meet is 'taxpayers supporting it.' Gee, I guess it's ok for the taxpayers to support the DEMONrats.

Hey, give the 9th Circuit a break here -- they're dead SERIOUS about defending their title as the most overturned federal appeals court in the land. They figured this would be an easy one for the USSC to reverse, perhaps even summarily without full oral argument.

Also, for those of you who are champing at the bit to dump Chafee in RI, let this be an ongoing lesson to you. The only vote of his that really matters in the Senate is his vote to organize the Senate under GOP control. That way, the gavel for the Judiciary Committee stays in GOP hands for the selection of new federal judges over the next two years. . .

"Prohibiting Faith Center's religious worship services from the Antioch meeting room is a permissible exclusion of a category of speech," Judge Richard Paez ruled.

I can see where they might prohibit a certain level of noise-making. It is, after all, a library. But that does not at all appear to be the reasoning here.

Un-freakin-believable.

Yet another reason why the local lending library is becoming a dinosaur. Makes me glad I voted against funding the rebuilding of the Walnut Creek branch of the county library earlier this year.
