The Alabama Supreme Court directed a judge to fine Birmingham $25,000 for putting plywood up around a confederate monument, ruling the city in violation of the 2017 Alabama Memorial Preservation Act.
AL Supreme Court to Birmingham residents: “Keep your cotton picking hands off the Confederate idolatry.”
“This ruling appears to be less about the rule of law and more about politics,” city spokesman Rick Journey said.

Who’s free speech are we protecting here?

I may be mistaken, but didn’t the Confederates lose?
Badly?
Very Badly?
This is very, very bizarro world wierdy-tweirdy … stuff. And dangerous too — docs will face murder charges no less, and this reimplanting procedure is not possible.
What the fuck is off with Ohio? Are they “Alta Kentucky” now?

The Upper Peninsula of Mississippi?

Bloody hell!
What have we lived to see?
In 5 years the Bible thumpers will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Trial.

Good to know that I would have been able to slap up whatever I wanted as a sincerely held religious belief that 2+2 is anything except 4.
Question: How many loaves of bread does it take to feed a thousand people?

I prefer to frame it as, “How many baker’s livelihoods were upended and their children doomed to starvation and poverty due to an insurgent’s incitement of the rabble to believe that matter can be created out of nothing and with no investment of time or labor?”
