See #696 above. Those are his words, not mine.
He sees it as his right to freely express himself about the decor in his own courthouse.
Since he's in charge of the decor, he's got a point.
He put up a decoration and noone liked it. But they did like the goddess at the district court.
I guess he just has bad taste in religious art.
If he is now saying it's about decorations, he's gutless.
He never said that before, he stuck by his principles, and he took the consequences. If he's recanting, then it's really been a total waste of time and an awful lot of money (at least $1 million spent by Alabama taxpayers on this so far).
