Next, Breakin' Down the Law continues with everything you wanted to know about churches suing for funds allocated to disaster relief and recovery.  Is the <a href= "http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2017/09/05/texas-churches-are-suing-fema-for-excluding-them-in-disaster-relief-grants/"> Friendly Atheist right when he says such a case is legally distinct from the precedent</a> set by <em>Trinity Lutheran v.
