At least the Monks have Cajones enough to challenge this farce.
Louisiana Monks Win Casket Case
Federal Court Protects Economic Liberty by Ruling that Casket Monopoly is Unconstitutional
A federal court today ruled (read the court’s decision) that Louisiana’s government-imposed monopoly on casket sales in the state is unconstitutional, closing the lid on the economic protection scheme and resurrecting an opportunity for local monks to provide for themselves by creating and selling their handmade caskets. The monks of Saint Joseph Abbey of Saint Benedict, La., and the Institute for Justice, which represents the order in court, had filed suit to fight Louisiana’s government-imposed casket cartel.
I repeat, “A pretty sorry state of affairs when a bunch of hermits do what the rest of America won’t. Question why the Constitution doesn’t just apply unless you have the correct lobby group”.
