A group advocating separation of church and state is suing to keep prayer out of the Jan. 20 presidential inauguration.
The Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation and several of its members are among the 29 plaintiffs in a federal lawsuit filed Monday in Washington, D.C.
The lawsuit seeks to block the Presidential Inaugural Committee from including prayers in the official inauguration. It says clergy have not led prayers at inaugurations for most of the nation's history.

More like “Portrait of a Grifter.” I’ve been watching her and her Mom sue people for decades. Laurie, The Younger’s husband is part of their scam, too.
These people have become rich, rich, rich doing this.
Some reason we can’t get it together enough and form a ‘Freedom OF Religion’ (which is what the Constitution says in the FIRST place!) non-profit and start taking THEM to the cleaners? Yeesh!

“Are they going to knock the Lincoln Bible out of Obama’s hand as well?”
And if he swears himself in on the Koran, we won’t hear a PEEP from this group or the MSM, just like the stooge in MN.

Watching the one getting the friendly fire.

Foundation co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor says members are "First Amendment purists" who believe [the] ceremony excludes non-Christians.
No, atheists choose to exclude themselves.
