A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously cleared the way Monday evening for the monuments to be removed, issuing an opinion that criticized groups seeking to keep the statues in place for arguments that “wholly lack legal viability or support.”
With what is likely the last legal hurdle the city faces removed, the statues are expected to come down quickly. Tyronne Walker, a spokesman for Mayor Mitch Landrieu, said the city will start seeking bids Tuesday to remove the statues, and a contract will be awarded 25 days later.

Agreed.
DeleteHow 'bout if we petition to have all of the "MLK Boulevards" re-named?
ReplyDeleteHa! Just imagine the response of the MSM. :)
DeleteA contractor that respects history should low bid the contract in order to insure that the statues are not destroyed. Perhaps a safe home could be found. How sad.
ReplyDeleteThere will be death threats as before.
DeleteHow about the rise of the "Cesar Chavez" Avenue or Boulevard?
ReplyDeleteJust as hypocritical and tone deaf.
Really.
DeleteThe cleansing of the history of the Southern States is underway. There will be no rest from the left until all remembrance of the facts that led to the Civil War are erased from the memory of everyone.
DeleteHopefully the pendulum will start back.
