I don’t care what some hot-shot judge seeking her 15 minutes of fame says, I’m observing. Come and stop me.

This dimwit judge's head would explode if she were educated enough to know that George Washington proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving in 1789 (which began the recognitition of Thanksgiving Day that continues today), in which he encouraged the day "...to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God."

This entire church and state debate is ludicrous as it is EASY to find out what the First Amendment language intends. Just look at how those who drafted the Constitution BEHAVED after ratifying it. Far from what the left would try to have us believe, the Founders incorporated reverence and worship of God into every aspect of public life. They appropriated money from the treasury to print Bibles for the purpose of evangelizing the Indian tribes. They formed the beginnings of the public school system for the expressed purpose of ensuring that citizens were educated in the Bible, as they viewed it as the crucial ingredient necessary for successful self-government. Heck, Thomas Jefferson regularly attended church services held in the Senate chambers! At other times, they were also held in the Supreme Court chambers. It doesn't get any more ironic than that.

The left is just stupendously wrong about this issue.

So I guess the guys that wrote the Constitution were unconstitutional, seeing how they opened up EVERY session of the convention with prayer to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY!

we have so lost our way...

What an IDIOT!!!

Think about it.

The Federal governments official position is:
“No God!!!! You CANNOT MENTION GOD HERE!!”

What does that tell ya?

Some federal judges should be ignored, and this one is VERY high on that list. There is something in the First Amendment (as line that she has probably never read or at least never understood) that I keep in mind when someone hints that vague “others” might object to a prayer, and that highest law of the land, along with the God-given right that it protects take precedence over this deluded moron.

You guys are acting as if we’re allowed to have our own voices and opinions.

So the atheists complained that they have too many pray-free days to deal with?
