It's been done before -- but it sure didn't get a lot of media attention because it would have exposed much of the Federal judiciary as powerless jack@sses.

The case I'm thinking about was from Alabama or Mississippi some years ago -- and involved a Protestant pastor who had a long-standing tradition of saying a prayer over the stadium's PA system before every home football game.

A student -- backed by the ACLU, of course -- sued to stop the practice, and won. The school filed one appeal and lost, and then the pastor and school district officials decided they couldn't pay the costs of further appeals.

So the pastor announced that he was going to keep saying his prayer before every game, and that the Federal courts could send U.S. marshals down to that stadium on any given Saturday morning to arrest him if they wanted to.

As far as I know, he's still doing it.

Exactly.

And that’s how abortion COULD have been ended after Roe v. Wade, except that not one of the fifty governors has had the cojones to exercise his duty to protect babies from murder.
