The federal government is facing a class-action lawsuit over its shutdown-related closure of the WWII Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

A constitutional law firm is prepared to take action on First Amendment grounds.

“By spending money to bring in barricades to attempt to shut down an open-air memorial is abhorrent and deeply insulting to WWII vets who defended the very freedoms that are now threatened by the Obama Administration’s actions. We are prepared to take legal action if this injustice is not corrected,” Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, said Wednesday.

All the Park people and law enforcement, need to start refusing odongo’s orders and join up with the Will of the People. There will come a time they’ll wish the did.

I am wondering if all people in the area en masse occupied the monument so they couldn’t reinstall the barricades, what would happen? Use an old Lefty technique on the leftys of Sit-in Civil Disobedience kinda thing.... Occupy it 24-7. Certainly WWII vets are probably too old for that but their Vietnam veteran kids, and Iraq-Afghanistan veteran grandkids could make things interesting.
