A couple of days ago, I told you about a disturbing new lawsuit by an atheist organization that is trying to stop the display of a cross at Ground Zero - part of a museum being built to commemorate the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001. You also know that we will be filing an amicus brief backing the constitutional display of that cross in court. We will be representing former NYC firefighter and first responder Tim Brown and others. Now comes another 9-11 case, this one also out of New York... Continue Reading
