Forgive a bit of a tangent, but I came across this news item today. St
Joseph's Abbey in Covington has been cited by the Louisiana Board of
Embalmers and Funeral Directors for selling coffins without a license.
(Savor the absurdity of that for a moment...) They've now filed suit in
response, alleging that the law in question is unconstitutional.
The Times-Picauyne story about the suit:

Here's a brief YouTube video on the case:
