Phoenix: Churches win injunction in city noise ordinance disputeWorldNetDaily: “A federal judge has concluded a Phoenix noise ordinance that allows exemptions for ice cream trucks but not church bells – one pastor already has been convicted and given a 10-day suspended jail sentence – likely is not constitutional . . . ‘We are pleased that the federal court has recognized the unconstitutional nature of this vague law used to single out churches, and we commend its decision to keep the city from enforcing this problematic noise ordinance while the lawsuit continues,’ said Alliance Defense Fund Senior Legal Counsel Erik Stanley.” |
