Sheesh. Alabama was just plain stupid here. If the guy wants an imam, get him an imam.
Agree that it appears that way.
"...couldn’t be honored due to the department’s policy.” has the potential to harm each of us depending on who collected the most votes and dictates policy. Don't like the policy? Sue us in federal court, if you have the money or the connections. Thank God for the Electoral College.
By the way, since this convicted murderer/rapist had standing to sue over a State's policy, perhaps the next litigant who sues a State for its policy of certifying a non-NBC for presidential election will also have standing.
(No, I didn't read the case.)
Here’s the FReeper solution. Get any good ol’ FReeper, such as Lazamataz, have him wrap his head in a towel and wear some kind of robe and present himself to the guy as an Imam. Presto, you got your Imam, now on to the juice!
Or at least get him a Rabbi that identifies as an Imam.
Agreed. This was not a hill to die on; just looks stupid.
