Several governors have allowed Nativity scenes to be erected in their Capitol rotundas. In Washington state, the regional atheists got permission to put up an adjacent sign…

Yesterday, one of the most egregious parts of the "Patriot Act" was held unconstitutional by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. This decision was a no-brainer, but you can never take things for granted. The ACLU website summarizes the decision. Here's an excerpt: A federal appeals court today upheld,…
