Judge strikes down Gov Abbott's war against non Christmas nativity scene

[Blake]

"A United States District Judge ruled on June 19 in favor of Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) against Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas. Judge Sam Sparks ruled that Governor Abbott violated free speech rights of the FFRF when he ordered the removal of the winter solstice and Bill of Rights Nativity from the state capitol...."

"The controversy began in 2015. FFRF had been approved to display a secular version of the Nativity scene. The display was visually similar to the traditional representation of the birth of Christ. However, Jesus was replaced by The Bill of Rights, and the Three Wise Men were George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. The Statue of Liberty played Mary. The display carried a sign celebrating the winter solstice, the adoption of the Bill of Rights, and the importance of separating church and state.

While FFRF’s display was legal, Governor Abbott ordered its removal. He alleged the installation did not promote morals and deliberately mocked Christianity.

Somebody said US district courts don't mean much, but a lot of law, rulings stop there, as the plaintiff doesn't have means to appeal

If this US district judge had been extreme right wing Federalist society asshole like Bitch McC is approving in bunches, maybe the ruling would gone the other way, letting autocrat Abbott's Christian supremacy personal preference "stand".
