Judge Schultz is Pissed

In Massachusetts, Robert Meltzer, a Jewish lawyer from Framingham says "he'll sue his town for placing polling stations in local churches, claiming it breaks the separation of church and state," reports Jennifer Harper.
"In order to vote, you basically had to bow before the cross," said Mr. Meltzer, who voted in a Methodist church hall last year. "I was sick for a week."
Our kids are dying in Iraq to protect this vermin's right to be an idiot.  Judge Schultz is not quite so understanding.

I dunno, on the one hand, it's obvious Meltzer is way overstating his case (Physically sick? Get real!), but that's what lawyers do. But on the other, for the amount of money taxpayers shell out to fund public schools and libraries, it seems rather unreasonable to me that the city management selected private churches as polling places, rather than one of the above that are publicly funded. More here than meets the eye, I'll wager.
