(Washington, DC) – The American Center for Law and Justice, specializing in constitutional law, is opposing a legal challenge brought by California atheist Michael Newdow challenging the constitutionality of prayer at the Presidential inauguration. The ACLJ has filed an amicus brief in support of the Department of Justice’s position defending the constitutionality of inaugural prayer.
“This challenge is legally flawed and represents nothing more than an attempt to remove a time-honored tradition going back to the nation’s first President,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ, which has challenged Newdow’s lawsuits in the past. “The expression of prayer at the Presidential inauguration is not only constitutional, but an important part of the history and heritage of this nation. We’re confident that this legal challenge will meet the same fate of a similar challenge brought by Newdow four years ago concerning inaugural prayer – a legal challenge that was rejected by the courts.”....

Don't hang your head Cal, sit up straight, hold your head up, and let the a$$holes know you don't belong in that crowd.BTTT
Thanks for correcting that. Makes it much easier for people.
Unfortunately I don't think they have refused to do this out of ignorance, I fear they really approve of these rogue judges decisions, and are letting them take the heat, since the judges don't face re-election.
The first self-evident truth is that all men are created equal. This acknowledges a Creator even before the acknowledgement of equality.
Furthermore, just in case someone should try to insinuate uncertainty about this, the clause that follows makes it clear that men were created by a Creator.
The foundation of U.S. law is the self-evident truth that all people are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.
They were not given these rights by government. They were not given them by some covenant. They were not given them by other people. These rights did not come through evolution from lower life forms.
They came from the Creator of human beings.
The acknowledgement of the Creator is the foundation of American law.
The American people need to keep this in their awareness, and anyone who seeks to expunge the recognition of God from American law should be stopped.
From the American Civil Liberties Union's Web page on free speech (ellipsis in original):
It is probably no accident that freedom of speech is the first freedom mentioned in the First Amendment: "Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." The Constitution's framers believed that freedom of inquiry and liberty of expression were the hallmarks of a democratic society.
The ACLU of course has edited out freedom of religion, which comes ahead of speech. (Thanks to James Taranto)

Jay Sekulow BUMP
Hooray for Jay Sekulow and the ACLJ.
The publicity the ACLU gets has made every one gun shy. And that increases their ability to intimidate local officials across the length and breadth of the land. But this is one instance where the logistics are completely against them. They should be told to "bring it on," indeed. (For more on the ongoing attack on the American traditional, public acknowledgment of God, see Leftwing Word Games & Religious Freedom.)

Hey, Mikey, your 15 minutes are up! Go crawl back under that slimy rock like a good little worm.
Is the ACLU involved in this as well, or is it just a lone crackpot filing the lawsuit.
