This morning the Supreme Court held in Town of Greece v. Galloway, that the town's practice of beginning legislative sessions with prayers does not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. It was a 5-4 decision, split along traditional right-left lines.

Glad to hear. This will drive them nuts on planet MSNBC.
I hope that this helps clarify that the “establishment” clause, which the liberals constantly talk about, does not mean you have to ban every mention of religion. It doesn’t mean that you have to have “zero tolerance”, and cleanse the public sphere of any religious symbol.
A blow to the Prayer Nazis.
But on the scary side, we are one Obama Supreme Court appointment away from a total ban on public prayer....
Exactly.
Because the practice of banning religious symbols.. is actually a religion in itself.
good point.
Pray for the continued service and good health of Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Thomas, and even Anthony Kennedy. If any of them retire before Obama’s term is over, the replacement will be a hard leftist, in the mold of Ginsburg, Kagen, and Sotomayor.
“But on the scary side, we are one Obama Supreme Court appointment away from a total ban on public prayer....”
Darned right scary. It is nuts that 9 people have this say over every facet of our lives. Or should I say 5 people.
5-4 - do you recognize what a thin line this country is hanging on?
Here come prayers at city councils of religions you don’t like.
Wonderful!
Bad news for Tim Tebow, as now the leftists at NBC, in retribution, will run 15 stories between now and NFL Week 1 showing he’s still not ready for the NFL.
Well, you figure the reason it gets to the point of 5 justices having this power, is because lower courts consistently make liberal decisions, which work their way up the line.
If the lower courts nipped lawsuits over these issues in the bud, we wouldn’t get to the point where a bare majority of the Supreme Court is defining these issues for us.
But then that touches on the issues of federal judges in general. Obama continues to appoint hard leftists to the lower federal courts.
And this points up why elections matter. How many voters consider that the president is the one who will be appointing federal judges for the next four years, when they go vote?

Pray for the health of those 5 Justices. They are all that stands in the way of the precipice.
I finally figured it out after all these years that there’s only one person who liberals hate more than conservatives, the Tea Party, and FOX News combined- GOD!
Probably a good idea to pray for RB Ginsberg’s health as well.
Friend, we are one liberal justice away from total destruction of the Constitution. We need an Article V Convention ... badly.
BTTT!
