Who is getting it, and for what?

As for who I wouldn't know, for what to protect your constitutional rights. Before they are all completely eroded.
It is about time someone drew a line in the sand and put a stop to all the P.C. bull.

They are doing a poor job of it, when just about every position taken in the case ensured that they would lose. And no case on this scale costs $125,000,000. A lot of people are lining their pockets with the Judge's fight.

As far as my rights go, I agree with the eloquent statement of Justice Robert Jackson (you remember him, don't you - the prosecutor at the Nuremburg Trials?)in West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624, 642 (1943):

"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that

no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein."

I don't know if Judge Moore is high, but he's certainly petty.
