Default Jews Strive To Restore Christmas Trees At Seattle Airport

Mike Hunt
The issue isn't that the Rabbi wanted the Christmas
ornaments removed, but he wanted representation of his
religion a this public facility.

That request was denied, even though the last Supreme
Court case on the subject agreed with the Rabbi.


This may come as a big surprise, but some people do not
want to spend several million dollars on litigation.

There was no possibility of a settlement. If they gave
him less than he wants, they go to court. If they give
him everything he wants, everyone lines up asking for a
piece of the action.
