Town To Pay Wiccan’s Lawyer Fees

Posted on October 21, 2005

GREAT FALLS, S.C.

The town of Great Falls plans to comply with an order to pay the lawyer of a Wiccan priestess who successfully sued the town over mentioning Jesus Christ’s name in council prayers.

The town will not appeal a court order to pay Darla Wynne’s lawyer, Herbert Buhl, about $53,000. But town attorney Michael Hemlepp said officials aren’t sure where they’ll get the money.

Hemlepp said the town can’t simply afford to write a check. The town’s annual budget is $870,000.

Buhl said he’s given the town an extension to pay without a specific deadline. But he wants his money.

Using the the politically incorrect word Jesus in a public prayer, $53,000.00!
Religious Freedom? Keep it to yourself. Have I got this right? Is that the politically correct answer?

    Herbert Buhl… sounds like a name that should go on Nedd’s list of lawyers, corporations,etc that support the ACLU!

    I have a great idea for a law: “You are not allowed to mention religion in court”. Period.

    That way, no one could ever sue over a religious issue :) the ACLU would be out of business, as there are not enough NAMBLA cases to keep them afloat.

    [...] It is happening all across the nation. The ACLU sue city counsil after city counsil over praying in Jesus name. They don’t sue to stop all prayer, but in every case the target has been Christian prayer. They even fought for the right of a Wiccan to pray at a counsil meeting. Many times it doesn’t even take a lawsuit. They just type up a threatening letter and that does the trick. This was the case in Fredericksburg. But one man isn’t taking things lying down. Fredericksburg City Councilman Hashmel Turner has filed suit against his fellow council members, saying the council’s newly adopted prayer policy violates his constitutional rights. [...]
