The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) in April of 2012 filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Dearborn, Michigan, on behalf of Pastor Terry Jones, associate pastor Wayne Sapp, and their organization "Stand Up America Now" after the city demanded they sign a "Hold Harmless" agreement as a requirement for their special events.
On Monday, The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) announced through a release to interested media that they won the case against the City of Dearborn.
TMLC said that Federal District Court Judge Denise Page Hood of the Eastern District Court of Michigan, late Friday entered a summary judgment in favor of Pastor Terry Jones and his organization, "Stand up America Now", against the City of Dearborn.
Judge Hood ruled that Dearborn's ordinance requiring Pastor Jones's organization to sign a sweeping indemnification agreement as a condition for permission to speak on public property in front of a Dearborn mosque violated Jones's First Amendment rights of Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expressive Association.
WELL, at least we have ONE good story about our government today.
