[[A national organization says South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster is violating the Constitution by holding prayers before press conferences.]]
For crying out loud- this has been tried and tried and I believe even SC has weighed in- it’s allowed!
Wow! What a disgrace.
the Freedom From Religion Foundation <<<
is that a typo that meant to say..”freedom OF religion”???
They love to site one half of the 1st Amendment... no establishment of religion—even though they bastardize the concept. What about the governor’s right to the second half... free exercise of HIS religious beliefs?

Believe there is a Hell if for no other reason than to hope she ends up there.
Tell them to go to hell.
Ah yes - the FFRR that NEVER sues when islamists force prayers or demand prayer rooms in schools or Democrats for that matter
Just Christians get sued.
Already, things that only a few year ago were unthinkable, today are considered acceptable, e.g. infanticide, sexual perversion, government corruption, voter fraud, pornography, illegal immigration, satanism, witchcraft, the sale of drugs is every American city and town and even in the nation's grammar schools.
And now: outlawing prayer!
How depraved can one get?
There is no limit.
What depravation is yet to come? Slavery? Torture for public entertainment? The molestation of children? Genocide? The gulags?
President Trump and his supporters believe that America has not yet passed the point of no return, that she can be saved from destruction, that the decadence can be halted and reversed.
Pray that they are right!
Pray that goodness, truth, and decency will prevail.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
The First Amendment (1A) actually reads as follows.
"1st Amendment: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof [emphasis added]; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
SHOW ME a law that Congress has made which respects or prohibits religion, and Ill show you a violation of the First Amendment.
Note that the corrupt, anti-religious expression Congress has gotten around its 1A prohibition on making laws that prohibit the free exercise of religion by letting institutionally indoctrinated, anti-religious expression judges getting away with legislating such laws from the bench imo.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
Laura Ingraham: "Make America Greater!"
Sorry, but the establishment clause does not eliminate the right for governors or others to pray in public.
The government is not establishing or promoting a religion. They are simply praying to God, something every religion does.
Anyone not wanting to see this, is free to leave with no penalty.
Tell them to go to he!! now rather than waiting until later.
Unless he is having people arrested for not praying along with him, there is no problem here. We all have the freedom of our religion, EVEN elected officials.
