The Christmas story not allowed at Capitol Christmas, uh, Holiday Tree

An item reported at Gates of Vienna yesterday:

A Christian minister was told by the Capitol Police that he might be arrested if he were to read the Christmas Story out loud at the foot of the Capitol Holiday Tree. His action would contravene the separation of church and state, they said, and would therefore constitute an illegal demonstration. He said he planned to go ahead anyway—that was to be at noon today, but I don’t know how it turned out.
