Obozo's administration is at it again, but looks like the Houston judge is not buying.

"Judge Hughes denied the government's motion to dismiss the case, but not before upbraiding VA's attorney, Fred Hinrichs, for being unable to answer his questions."

...or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

This is clearly a violation of the First Amendment. Time to throw somebody's buttocks in jail.

Ocasio is a native of Chicago. She graduated from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2000.

There's the problem right there.

How’s that “Hope And Change” working out for us?

Soldiers fight for the Constitution, only to have it shredded at their burial.

I bet a prayer to the Christian God would be very offensive to Allah. And with NASA used for “Muslim Outreach”, how would that look?

It would offend Muslims. Obama can’t have that.

Someone should alert President Obama, because he probably knows nothing about it.

I’m sure this Constitutional violation would concern him very much, and he would probably correct it with great urgency, if he were only aware of it.

Even if praying to the Christian God DOES offend Muslims.
