Fantastic. Stupendous.
Knock yer damnself out.
An Alabama attorney is suing Gov. Robert Bentley (R) for allegedly exceeding his authority when he ordered state workers to remove Confederate flags from the state capitol grounds last month.
AL.com reported that Melvin Hasting, an attorney based in Cullman, Alabama, filed suit Tuesday in Montgomery County Circuit Court against Bentley, the Alabama Historical Commission, and that agency's acting director, Lisa Jones, with the aim of returning the Confederate flags to the war memorial from which they were taken.
From lawsuits to waving their Jim Crow flags at the first black president, this is the hill a certain segment of the American right has decided to die on. Good. Let's have this debate, and have a lot of it, until every last person in the country knows the history of the thing and can no longer claim they didn't.
