Who Could Have Seen This Coming?

Livingston Parish Council refuses to repeal soothsaying ban


Livingston Parish Council refuses to repeal soothsaying ban

Associated Press Reporting
A proposal to repeal the Livingston Parish ordinance outlawing soothsaying died in silence last night before the Parish Council.

The council ignored the recommendation of its attorney, Blayne Honeycutt, who had advised council members to repeal the ordinance in the face of a Wiccan minister's federal lawsuit, which Honeycutt said the parish probably will lose.

A Wiccan woman asked the council to repeal the ordinance, which she said makes unlawful a practice of a recognized religion.

Well, just look at the dimwits in neighboring Tangipahoastan Parish. When you get your civics lesson in church, this is what you get. Constitutional Rights just flew out the window of the Livingston Parish Courthouse.
