(2003-08-20) — A federal judge in Alabama has ordered the state to remove “No Parking” signs currently posted around government buildings.
“The signs are a relic of an antiquated morality that allows a small group of people to impose their will on the majority,” the unnamed judge wrote. “We learned during Prohibition that you cannot solve problems by passing laws and punishing wrongdoers. What right does the state have to say ‘Thou shalt not park’?”
The judge said his ruling is consistent with precedent which forbids the posting of the so-called “Ten Commandments” in a state judicial building.
“The law has no foundation, Divine or otherwise,” he wrote. “The law is what the court says it is today, and if it says something else tomorrow, then that is the law.”
