The federal government is facing a class-action lawsuit over its shutdown-related closure of the WWII Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
A constitutional law firm is prepared to take action on First Amendment grounds.
“By spending money to bring in barricades to attempt to shut down an open-air memorial is abhorrent and deeply insulting to WWII vets who defended the very freedoms that are now threatened by the Obama Administration’s actions. We are prepared to take legal action if this injustice is not corrected,” Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, said Wednesday.
"Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual." Thomas Jefferson
"If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here." - Barack Obama, June 7, 2013
Good for them. There is NO reason they should be closing these things that belong to the american people. There are plenty of other things they can shut down..like themselves. If they really want to shut down the govt..then they should get the hell out..with no pay. As we can see..they are doing nothing, anyway..but blasting a lot of hot air.
My hope is they keep this so called shut down long enough for more people to see their bogus insurance plans. Wait until more morons see it not only is not free, but costs as much as, or more than everyone elses..with huge $10,000 plus deductables. I have been reading story after story on this today. AND..you have to give your personal information before you ever see the cost of any plan...um..and if you dont want it..you cant take your info back, you are in their system.
Mark Levin to Obama: You lay one hand on WW2 vets and I’LL BRING HALF A MILLION PEOPLE TO THAT MEMORIAL!
ZitatMark Levin warned everyone on Capitol Hill that if they lay a hand on the WWII vets at the memorial to arrest them for visiting their own memorial, he’ll bring a half a million people to march on Washington. He says it will ignite a movement like they’ve never seen before:
The bureaucracy: the new fourth branch of government. The bureaucracy is permanent, unaccountable, unelected and choking us like a weed. The bureaucrat exists, generating nothing of value, using perceived problems to justify his existence.
