Asks NY Mayor to Paint ‘Because No One Is Above the Law’ on Fifth Ave.
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a civil rights lawsuit against DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and other officials for First Amendment violations over their refusal to allow Judicial Watch to paint the message “Because No One Is Above the Law!” on a DC street. (Judicial Watch. v. Muriel Bowser, et al. (No. 1:20-cv-01789)).
On June 5, 2020, after days of protests and riots in Washington, DC, led by the Black Lives Matter organization, Mayor Bowser authorized the painting of “Black Lives Matter” on 16th Street NW, and later authorized or allowed “Defund the Police” to be painted alongside it.
On June 10, 2020, Judicial Watch sent a letter requesting permission to paint “Because No One is Above the Law!” in the identical size and coloring of the “Black Lives Matter” painting on another DC street near its headquarters near Capitol Hill. Judicial Watch offered to pay for the cost of the painting and, citing the timely nature of the issue, asked for a response in three days.

Put it in big letters on the back of every piece of paper money!
Boring. Frivolous wannabe "gotcha" use of court resources. The Mayor is allowed to use public resources to promote a message just like Trump is allowed to use US tax payer money to campaign. It doesn't mean any and everyone is allowed to get their message promoted.
Good! It’s time the hypocrisy is tested in a court of law.
Incorrect! No Mayor is allowed to use public resources on messages promoting any political organization. Trump is not allowed to use tax payers money on his campaign. And if he was, we all would hear about it on every Democrat owned news channel for 24 hours a day. 2:56 is showing symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
"No Mayor is allowed to use public resources on messages promoting any political organization."
I agree, but Jake Day gets away with it. That LGBTQZFRDLOP rainbows that he paints downtown and the rainbow flags are certainly illegal then. And if you don't think that organization is political you have been sniffing too much glue.
