Lisa “Lee” Whitnum has taken on a number of Connecticut movers and shakers. She ran for Congress against former U.S. Rep. Jim Hines, for U.S. Senate against Christopher Murphy, and sued Dannel Malloy when he was still the mayor of Stamford.
Most recently, the Greenwich resident has been fighting her hometown’s leaders. But now that four-year battle seems to have come to a close as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has upheld a district court judge’s dismissal of Whitnum’s claim that Greenwich improperly allowed its town hall to be used for a bar mitzvah and Israeli flag-raising ceremony in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s Establishment Clause. The court also said her claims that U.S. District Judge Stefan Underhill was biased against her are without merit.
