The American Civil Liberties Union of Louisiana has asked a federal judge to award the organization more than $65,000 in attorneys fees and court costs, stemming from a ruling earlier this month that said Slidell officials broke the law by hanging a portrait of Jesus on the wall at Slidell City Court.
Who asked these ass hats to come in and cause a ruckus? Everyone is entitled to their opinion of this organization and mine is that they should just go away.
The ACLU said plaintiff "John Doe" and others "have suffered, or shall suffer, damages, including mental anguish and emotional distress" from viewing the image.
the picture is still on display, joined now by more than a dozen other images of historic lawmaking figures, and there are no plans to remove the image.
"This is the first case I know of that upholds a display of a picture of Jesus," Douglas Laycock, professor of constitutional law at the University of Michigan Law School, told Cybercast News Service. "It is significant."

What cracked me up was when the people on "The View" and "Good Morning America" were telling the story and commenting on it. They couldn't figure out WHY ON EARTH Napoloeon would be included on the list of people whose portraits would be displayed...Louisiana law...French...Napoleonic code...duH!!!!
