Herndon labor ordinance struck down by judge

A Fairfax County Circuit Court judge has struck down a Herndon law forbidding employers to solicit day laborers anywhere but at a single center, a new turn in an already complex tangle of immigration, labor and law in the small Virginia town.

Judge Leslie M. Alden overturned a district court ruling and declared the ordinance unconstitutional, the town announced Wednesday evening.

Which ad is that? Nothing showed up for me in your comment.

I went back to the article’s page but nothing jumped out at me.

The WaPo has more details on her decision making. Apparently she believes "that the town's two-year-old prohibition against laborers and motorists discussing employment on the streets violates First Amendment rights to free speech."

Locals should take this clown judge to the town square, place him in stocks and pummel him with rotten veggies.

It’s a photo of a babe wearing a t-shirt that says “I survived Roe v. Wade.” It doesn’t show up in my comment? I don’t have any difficulty seeing it.

Look, I realize Slick is everyone's favorite bogeyman, but I doubt he was appointing state court judges in Virginia.

I see the pic too - nice!

Clinton never appointed any county circuit judge in the state of Virginia.
