Wiccan Sues Town and Wins.

I see a self proclaimed "Wiccan Priestess" sued a South Carolina town for using the name "Jesus Christ" in prayers prior to council meetings and won. It seems the court decision of record called for the town to cease and desist as well as pay about $18,000 in legal fees shelled out by the "Priestess."

So what do these idiots decide to do? They decide to APPEAL the decision to the Supreme Court. Even a Rheinquist court with Scalia sitting on it isn't going to overturn this one and the Supremes refused to hear the case. However, now the Priestess' legal fees have ballooned to a whopping $65,000 for which the town will most likely be liable. This appears to represent some 7% of the town budget and isn't covered by the town's liability insurance. That would have been one hell of a policy if it was covered!

The pastor of the local church says that "most" of the town supported the appeal and would be willing to help pay for the cost. Why do I suspect that it was mostly the pastor and his congregation that supported the appeal and why am I not surprised they're not stepping up to the bar to help defray the cost.

Oh well, now along with it's position of being the state with the highest violent crime rate, South Carolina can boast that's it's the home of one of the DUMBEST towns in the country.
