Court rejects supremacist's challenge of charitable act law
Illinois Supreme Court upholds a law requiring charities to register and report finances, rejecting Matt Hale's claim the rule is vague. The case stems from Hale's World Church of the Creator, argued as a charity rather than a church, with the state seeking fines, asset freezes, and a ban on soliciting funds. The ruling leaves the circuit court to continue action, while Hale vows further appeals to defend church-state separation.
