South Carolina discovers the First Amendment

Thanks to Pam's House Blend for this news about Great Falls, South Carolina, where the church folk are digging into their pockets to pay the $65,000 in legal fees incurred by Wiccan priest Darla Wynn, who sued the town in 2001. Wynn charged that Great Falls violated the principal of church/state separation by using the name of Jesus in its official prayers. The town lost both the original case and the appeal, and is now stuck with the bill. The town's budget is small, so Christians are passing the hat to collect the money.

I'm all choked up about it.
