Trolling for a seat on the SCOTUS??? Odinga are you paying attention?

This judge(????) is nuts! An official day of prayer is not exactly analogous to "establishing" a religion. Is there much doubt this will be overturned? The depths to which lefty judges will go to make work for their "profession" is nothing short of amazing. TRULY a waste of taxpayers' money.

She “retired” from fulltime last year so she could concentrate on destroying whatever is left of God references in this country. http://www.wisbar.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=83307

God will not be amused when she is brought before Him during her judgement.

Let’s have a Socialist-Communist Day! Hug your neighbor and steel his walet in the name of social justice.

Last time I checked I had Freedom OF religion, not Freedom FROM religion!

My first thought as well. Just another judge who can't read plain english.

Yup, Christmas is next. Then there is New Years Day, which which discriminates against Chinese New Year parades. And what about Mothers Day, which promotes the impregnating of women, a form of slavery. And don’t forget Fathers Day, which was obviously propounded as a celebration of all that is oppressive.

That leaves three hundred and fifty nine more days to outlaw before America is fundamentally transformed. As we begin address this challenge, we face a looming crisis in the supply of lawyers, judges, and watchdog groups. Are we up to the challenge? The whole world is watching. If the rest of the world’s inhabitants are not laughing their asses off right now, they would have to be as silly as we are.

This judge ought to be taken out of his position. He does not know the constitution at all.

If you don’t want to pray, then don’t.

And if you do want to pray, then do.

I've never understood why believers want to get government involved in religion in any way except upholding people's right to practice the one they choose. What kind of believer wants the government telling them this or that is a day of prayer? The whole concept goes against the conservative idea of getting government off our backs.

If the government has a right to declare a day of prayer, what other rights does it have in terms of dictating religious practices?

Whom were we giving Thanks to on Thanksgiving Day, after all, if not the God of the Christians?

Why the Indians of course. Or indirectly Gia, since the Indians were at one with nature.

Yup, Christmas is next.

It is all but gone from Public Schools already, should have started worrying a long time ago.

Let’s just form two countries and get it over with...

Sounds good to me. Other countries did it why can’t we. No use butting heads all the time and the rads will have a place to go and the conservatives can live in peace, pray out loud, salute the flag, lower their taxes, balance their budgets, jail their child molesters and sex offenders - sounds great.

So who asked him? The judge needs to shut up, and not stop shutting up.
