HAMILTON COUNTY, TN — The federal lawsuit against Hamilton County over the County Commission's weekly prayers officially was amended a second time on Monday. Plaintiffs Tommy Coleman and Brandon Jones sought to amend their complaint in July after a Hamilton County sheriff's deputy escorted Coleman from a commission meeting. The amendment alleged the removal violated Coleman's Fourth Amendment rights. Though federal Judge Harry S. "Sandy" Mattice said during last week's preliminary hearing that the court is usually liberal about granting amendments to suits early in the process, the county's attorney, Stephen Duggins, objected to it. Mattice asked Duggins to file his brief explaining his opposition by Monday. Mattice said the amendment could be important in his pending decision on whether to grant a preliminary injunction halting the county's prayers until he can rule in the case. timesfreepress.com/news/2012/jul/30/federal-lawsuit-against-hamilton-county-commission/

UTC knuckled under to these turds today, followed by Roger Brown's retirement announcement.
Couldn't have been better timed
