(Times-Picayune ) Judge blocks New Orleans law that prevents preaching in French Quarter
A federal judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of a New Orleans law recently used to arrest Christian evangelists preaching on Bourbon Street during Southern Decadence, the annual celebration of gay culture in the French Quarter. Part of the city's recently enacted "aggressive solicitation" ordinance orders people not to "loiter or congregate on Bourbon Street for the purpose of disseminating any social, political or religious message between the hours of sunset and sunrise."
"That's no longer in effect," ACLU lawyer Justin Harrison said.
Harrison sought a temporary restraining order from U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon.
