Mick, lets try and simplify this one point at a time. Point ONE... In your opinion, is it mainstream in American constitutional law to grant to ONE religion and not to another an accomodation provided for by the state?

If the answer is no, this is in fact, not in keeping with the Constitution, then the Saint Patricks day parade should NOT be allowed by the city charter to use 5th Ave. on a weekday if that right is specifically denied to other religions.

Now, I will let you think about this and comment on it before we go to point number 2.

(Hint) Just because Judge Duffy says it is law, doesn't make it right. Remember, it was once the law that Black Americans where only 3/4 human....

Cheers
Larry
