Stopping the ACLU's Appetite for Destroying Religious Freedom

Jay over at Stop the ACLU! has an article outlining the action Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., is taking to "curb the ACLU's appetite for filing suits targeting religion in the public square by introducing a bill that denies plaintiff attorneys the right to collect attorneys fees in such cases."

Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., is expected to file his measure next week to amend the Civil Rights Attorney's Fees Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. Section 1988, to prohibit prevailing parties from being awarded attorneys fee in religious establishment cases, but not in other civil rights filings.
