Challenging Louisiana's Casket Cartel in Federal Court - Press Conference

An IJ press conference announcing a lawsuit defending the right of everyone, including monks, to earn an honest living. The monks of St. Joseph Abby use casket sales to pay for health care, food, and education. There is no one who is so removed from the need to earn money that economic liberty doesn't matter to them. Entrepreneurship is the original stimulus package. With the U.S facing record unemployment, the best way to help put people back to work is to cut out the red tape facing small business owners.

What happened to this lawsuit? Did they win?

For once I support something that has to do with religion. . . . Hell if they want to make cheaper boxes to put people in the ground let them. I even like their style of keeping things simple.

What was the outcome? This is ridiculous. Funeral industry is full of greedy pricks like all other industries.

This is just a step away from public health requiring restaurant licenses to hold a church dinner. Or requiring sales tax paid from Church Bazaars. What kind of Country do we want?

Speaking of lawsuits, is there a place on your site where I can see which federal cases you've won and lost? Just curious
