This could get very interesting watching the R's try to explain their faulty logic in court.

Wish us luck!

5. that's what is going to have to happen.

when the legislature is just steamrolling the state this is all that may stop this series of insults. i was just thinking yesterday that i hoped the ACLU was paying attention.
best of luck Asheville!

7. The city's position appears to parallel Citizens United

The city is a corporation and thus a person. You can't "take" assets from a person (see the 5th Amendment) without just compensation.
