So in a follow-up to a follow-up I did a couple of weeks ago, the ban on fortune-telling in the City of Alexandria, Louisiana has definitely been struck down.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Dee Drell concurred with the earlier opinion of U.S. Magistrate James D. Kirk that Alexandria’s ban was an unconstitutional violation of the right of free speech.
According to nola.com and the Associated Press, Drell commented in his ruling that,
“We also note with interest that the ‘art’ of fortune telling proliferates in front of St Louis Cathedral, in the City of New Orleans, apparently without incident.”
I think that Alexandria will find that they’re safe too.
