YORK COUNTY, S.C. - A judge will decide Thursday if a lawsuit over the removal of the Confederate flag from the York County courthouse will move forward.
The flag used to hang in the main courtroom before being removed and a judge will hear a lawsuit demanding its return.
Protesters plan to gather in front of the courthouse Thursday morning.
Russell Walker of Aberdeen, North Carolina, filed a lawsuit in June against York County Clerk of Court David Hamilton, asking a judge to force Hamilton to return the flag and pictures back to the main courtroom. The lawsuit alleges the S.C. Heritage Act allows only the legislature to move Confederate items in public buildings.
York County disagrees.

(16,145 posts)who demand that the flag of a failed rebellion represent our official government offices/functions.
If they are so attached to their mythical "lost cause" then they don't belong here, nor can they claim the label of "Patriot", which they also try to do.
They say "it's heritage, not hate". Yeah, buddy, except your heritage is BUILT on hate and the enslavement of people based on the color of their skin.
