John Satawa filed a lawsuit last week to reclaim the right to rebuild this nativity scene originally built by his late father in 1945.

What legal right did somebody have to tell him he can’t display it?

On the one hand, I can understand why there is a question of why this can’t be set up on the parish property instead of on the public right of way nearby.

On the other, I can’t understand how the same people who can vehemently insist that gay public sex must be protected in public places, can’t live with a simple nativity scene that is displayed for a few weeks out of the year.

My question is about the permit process. If the Road Commission has a permit process and allow some people to use the public median, then how does the government censor free speech and religious expression.

Who can get a permit and for what purposes? That may be where the case is.

63 years?

Sounds like they could make a case for adverse possession and REALLY get the bureaucrats riled up.

We lived for nearly 200 years without any sane person thinking a town nativity scene constituted a state establishment or endorsement of religion. We respected people's rights to express their faith in public.

Times have changed. Are we a better, freer country now?
