Judge dismisses ministers’ suit against hate-crimes law
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Michigan man and three Michigan ministers challenging the constitutionality of a federal hate-crimes law enacted last October.
The suit against U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. was filed in February by Gary Glenn, a Midland resident and president of the American Family Association of Michigan; Levon Yuille, pastor of the Bible Church in Ypsilanti; Rene Ouellette, pastor of First Baptist Church in Bridgeport; and James Combs, pastor of Faith, The Point, The Rock and The River churches.
