THE NANNY STATE shut down a small New Hampshire church.

Now Attorney General Pam Bondi is involved.

The Justice Department filed a statement of interest yesterday in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire explaining that the claims brought by a Christian church and its pastor under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) are ready to be heard and determined in federal court.

I don't think things will go well for the nanny-staters.
