ACLU And Costs --- Little Help?

Dr Adequate · 21st February 2007, 02:02 PM

There was some discussion a few months back about a politician trying to bring in a bill saying that if you fought a First Amendment case and won, you'd still have to pay your own legal costs.

I can't find the thread. Can someone please give me a link or remember the name of the politician?

Thanks.

I think this might be the thread. The sponsor was Rep. John N. Hostettler.
