You did a good job with your post. As a Jew I have sat through many of the same circmstances, inasmuchas I reject the whole concept of Political Correctness, I must say that I am not offended by what people pray and whether they invite me to join in. I even sing Christmas carols without losing my personal beliefs.
I have had christian friends invite me to conversion clinics, and to argue with me about the degree to which I am entitled to salvation. In doing this they have stepped over the line. A person should be free in his religious beliefs and his political beliefs. We all should be able to tollerate a little of someone else's belief in a public setting as long as it is not directly made personal.
The senators were wrong, and I agree with others here that they were likely liberal suckups to the ACLU.

they were likely liberal suckups to the ACLU. That well may be true. But observe that they did not walk out from other prayers.
Thanks for your post and kind words.
