"The firefighters claim parade attendees made obscene gestures, uttered inappropriate remarks and displayed lewd behavior that made them uncomfortable."

"The four men allege they were ordered by a battalion chief to attend last month's parade and feared consequences for failure to do so, since refusing to follow a direct order constitutes disciplinary action.

If the men refused to follow the direct order, they could have been suspended on the spot and stripped of any chance for a promotion, according to their manual, Ghiotto said. It was Ghiotto's first direct order."

Charles LiMandri is Director of the Thomas More Law Center's West Coast Regional Office. Those unfamiliar with the Law Center can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_More_Law_Center

I'm particularly impressed with their actions in the Dover Area School District Intelligent Design Case and that of Terri Schiavo.
