ACLU’s Tiresome Arguments

I just learned about this at World Magazine’s blog. And it’s nine-day old news. I want to know why I didn’t know any sooner.

But never mind, here are the story’s lead paragraphs:

A federal appeals court has upheld a display of the Ten Commandments alongside other historical documents in the Mercer County, Ky., courthouse.

The judge who wrote the opinion blasted the American Civil Liberties Union, which challenged the display, in language that echoed the type of criticism often directed at the organization.

Judge Richard Suhrheinrich’s ruling said the ACLU brought “tiresome” arguments about the “wall of separation” between church and state, and it said the organization does not represent a “reasonable person.”

That’s, like, way cool, dude!

Sorry. 😀 That’s not how I talk.

But I think I might like that judge. 🙂

I wonder who appointed him.

Does a quick Google on the subject.

Well, well. According to this, this:

Judge Suhrheinrich has served on the United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit, since being appointed by President Bush in 1990. He ascended to the Sixth Circuit after serving on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, following an appointment by President Reagan in 1984.

How about that.
