ACLU gets prayer banned from a county’s meetings – here’s what the Supreme Court just said
The Hill ^ | 06/28/18 11:02 AM EDT | Lydia Wheeler

Posted on 06/29/2018 10:13:25 AM PDT by Bob434

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to hear an appeal from county officials in North Carolina who argue they should be allowed to give a prayer at the start of public meetings.

The Rowan Country Board of Commissioners had asked the court to reverse the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling, which found the board’s prayer ritual violated the Constitution’s ban on government establishing one religion.

So, as I understand it, the Chief Justice, John Roberts, won’t take the case?

It is a living constitution dont you know? No sales tax on out of state purchases in 1992 but just fine now. Same for prayer.

The sc sucks.

Correct. The Constitution forbids Congress from passing any laws that have anything to do with an establishment of religion or the free exercise thereof.

A local government that allows prayer during their meetings is supporting the Constitution of the United States, without regard to the individual’s religion or religious expression.

Anything more than that is not in the actions of the local government, but in the mind of the complainer, er, hearer.

Thomas is correct. There is a conflict between 2 Appeals Courts that is required to be settled by the USSC. The 7 justices who punted ought to be ashamed of themselves.

I don’t demand government to have it mandated nor think judges can force it or deny it.

Agreed.

America just got another nail in its coffin. The LORD God is going to pound this nation into the ground and it is not going to be pretty. We did it taking the Bible and prayer out of the schools. We didn’t have school shootings before that happened. With God removed from schools, Satan has easy access to do his wickedness. And the murders came full force. Now our courts approved the murder of the unborn. More shootings and murders followed. After every shooting they all cry why could God let something like that happen in the schools. Hey, God ain’t in the schools, you kicked Him out. America is going down the tubes. This nation has dug its grave. God is going to plant all those who pull this crap into those graves. It is the Lake of Fire for all unbelievers and wicked.

President Obama Hosts a Ramadan Iftar Dinner at the White House
June 23, 2015

https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2015/06/23/president-obama-hosts-ramadan-iftar-dinner-white-house ]

I host an annual Iftar dinner at my house. No muslims seem to want to come over for it.

Must be my menu, bacon wrapped pork sausage stadium style bratwurst cooked on a grill with plenty of beer to dunk them into.

[ American prayer is.

Well, since it’s North Carolina why not have a Cherokee Medicine Man come over do some tribal ritual? ]

No have a Cherokee Medicine Man who is a pastor come over and say a Cherokee version of the lord prayer. When the ACLU sues you sue them for being racist/religiously discrimination!

“Flip em the finger and do it anyway. They have no moral authority.”

Exactly. The courts have no constitutional power to impose its view on American citizens. Only congress can intervene in these matters by passing a law. If a thousand brushfires flare up against these unelected black-robe fascists, there’s not a thing the courts can do.

[[The 7 justices who punted ought to be ashamed of themselves.]]

I agree=- absolutely!- The state is violating the constitution by not allowing government employees their right to pray- and this is a supreme court issue because their rights are being violated- The SC’s job is to rule whenever someone’s rights are violated- they are there to uphold the constitution and be the final authority on the issue

[[they all cry why could God let something like that happen in the schools. Hey, God ain’t in the schools, you kicked Him out.]]

Precisely- or they scream ‘we don’t want your prayers and thoughts’ which seems to be the thoughts of many who kicked God out today- We’re hearing the left say that more and more- Sad that they don’t want God’s blessings on this nation. I mean seriously- who wouldn’t want God to bless this nation? Who would want to kick God out and suffer the inevitable consequences? The left just don’t make sense-
