Opinion in case# 08-2306, Judge Sykes:

"When a district judge takes sides in a religious schism, purports to decide matters of spiritual succession, and
excludes dissenters from using the name, symbols, and marks of the faith (as distinct from the name and marks of a
church) [boldface added], the First Amendment line appears to have been crossed."

Surely in the late 1960s someone amongst the entourage of Remey with
some legal expertise would've known this? Why then didn't they do
something about that decision back then that it's taken this long to
address the blatantly obvious?
