Well, it’s not really “binding” if it’s unenforceable. What are they going to do, put a “Prayer Monitor” in the council room, and taze anyone who starts to utter the word Jesus? These commissioners have the right idea, civil disobedience, which can only result in two outcomes: either the State tries to enforce this law, in a way that will reveal their true draconian nature to the public, or they will have to back down. Either way, we win.
NO doubt the ACLU will try to enforce the ruling by getting a trial court injunction which enjoins any members of the council from deviating from the Federally mandated approved prayers. IF they violate the injunction the ACLU will then ask that they be held in comtempt and fined or imprisoned as punishment by the Court.
