I am not saying the witch should not be able to have her say, but it should be on her own time. She should be able to rent a hall, give her speech, whatever. But if the Board of Supervisors don't want her to pray in their meeting, there is no constitutional reason why they should be forced to listen to her.

Free speech or free expression of religion doesn't mean others should be forced to listen or participate.


Exactly, if the majority wanted her to speak she should be able to speak. The preferences of the people attending should determine who says the prayer, not how loud and whiny they are.
