Update on the Harris County Bible

The Harris County Attorney Mike Stafford has decided to appeal the ruling by district judge Sim Lake to remove the bible that is perched in a dirty neon lit case right in front of the doors of the Harris County Civil Courthouse. It appears that their argument is that the bible is a memorial to a specific person and therefore does not represent a state endorsement of a particular religion. I don't agree with them, but I do think they have an argument (notice I don't say "good" anywhere in that). I will try to get the pleadings from the prior action and post them.
