The American Center for Law and Justice argued before the New York State Supreme Court that a site at Ground Zero is not suitable to build an Islamic mosque.  The ACLJ, which represents 9/11 responder and firefighter Tim Brown, told the court the City acted improperly when it failed to landmark the building - a move that would have prevented an Islamic mosque from locating there.

Our news release on the hearing is posted here.   The judge said a decision on the hearing could come within the next four weeks.
