Is recession making Sunday Blue Laws a thing of the past?

Five state legislatures are considering lifting the restrictions on the sale of liquor, beer, and wine on Sundays. Georgia, Connecticut, Alabama, Minnesota, and Texas say they have good voter support for lifting the ban but are facing strong opposition from the Christian right. These states feel that lifting the ban will give their states much needed state tax revenue. Religious groups are saying that repealing the sales restrictions will hurt families. As state budgets continue to be under stress these laws may begin to fall away all together.
