Christopher Levenick reports on how the ACLU has learned to get taxpayers to pay for church-state lawsuits filed by the ACLU against the government - and what's being done to address the mess:

Working to amend the Attorney's Fees Award Act is Rep. John Hostettler, a Republican from Indiana. Yesterday, he reintroduced the Public Expression of Religion Act, under which plaintiffs could still ask the courts to prevent governmental endorsement of religion--but could no longer soak the public for the privilege of being sued.
