A judge is denying a motion by Louisa County to dismiss a lawsuit in connection with a giant Confederate flag.

The 30-by-50 foot flag has flown high on private property in the county, and can be seen from Interstate 64.

Louisa County has argued that the 120-foot flag pole violates a zoning ordinance.

The Virginia Flaggers, who put up the pole and are plaintiffs in the lawsuit, claim the flag is a Civil War monument and that the ordinance does not apply.
