This is stupid. How does suing get you want you want in this situation. It doesn't. Just pisses off people and they take everything down which makes even more people upset.

obviously, you never heard of the ACLU. They've been succeeding in this area for years, it's about time a Christian fights back. And if you look closer at the article, it was a sensible judge who understood the issue who told the town: put up the nativity scene or take down the menorah.
from the article: "The federal court judge's decision forced officials to either remove the menorah or grant resident Henry Ritell's request to display a nativity scene alongside it. "
Instead of allowing the Christian Symbol, the town chose to have no Christian symbols displayed during the Christmas Season.
IF you read the article you'll see that the people upset by the judge's ruling were the town's elected board, so it was they who chose to take down the menorah and to put up a sign berating the judge. In turn the people of the town were upset at their adolescent elected board.
The Board should have accepted Mr. Reitell's gift of the crech and put it up in the first place, and avoided his having to sue.
Get's you in the paper too.
The law is stupid.
The courts have ruled that if public officials allow a display by one religion they cannot exclude any other religion that wants to put up a display.
The courts won't change their ruling unless it is shown to be stupid-by these stupid suits.
"The law is an ass", you have to beat sense into it sometimes.
