The Supreme Court refused to consider whether federal rules for broadcast licenses discriminate against religious radio networks.
I have never heard of any news of the religious right try to gain more radio stations, but that must of been the case. Of course, they will feel they were cheated by the court.

Ruling on Hitler Artwork to Stand
Mon Nov 29,10:30 AM ET
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court let stand Monday a lower court ruling allowing the U.S. Army to keep four watercolors painted by Adolf Hitler that were seized in Germany after World War II.
Without comment, the justices turned aside a challenge by the family of late German photographer Heinrich Hoffmann Sr., which had sought either the return of the paintings as well as 2.5 million photographs — or millions of dollars in damages.
The watercolors include street scenes and war landscapes painted before and during World War I. U.S. forces discovered them in 1945, not long after Hitler committed suicide, in a German castle where Hoffmann had stored them during the war.
Hoffmann's family contended the photographer was a victim of wartime art pillaging and that the seizure of the paintings as well as 2.5 million photographs violated their constitutional rights. The U.S. government countered that the photos and paintings were Nazi art that was confiscated to "de-Nazify Germany."
The court's action appears to lay to rest a nearly 20-year battle involving the government, Hoffmann relatives and Texas art investor Billy F. Price, who bought rights to the works. The latest challenge involved a technical issue that brought the case back to the high court after justices refused to hear an initial appeal in 2002.
The Army keeps the paintings in government storage in Alexandria, Va.
The case is Hoffmann v. U.S., 04-425.

classic,
I have several beautiful antique floor model radios. They have push buttons too. I would never think of changing the dial. I like these topics, and you must too!
Twelve must too in the fact he always replies. However, I don't get to see his comments in the fact he's on ignore.
