I very clearly said it was a matter of the city puffing it's chest out. My only point was that, technically, it would be legal if they were involved in the lawsuit. The issue in that thread was that most people don't understand what the first amendment actually protects. They think that churches are free from any and all intervention in every situation, and that just isn't true. The outrage was rooted purely in emotional ignorance.

The crux of the issue is what is legal and what isn't. Everything else is just emotionally driven message board fodder.
