Federal judge: National Day of Prayer is unconstitutionalBy Warren Richey Warren Richey – Thu Apr 15, 9:05 pm ET
A federal judge in Wisconsin declared Thursday that the US law authorizing a National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional.
US District Judge Barbara Crabb said the federal statute violates the First Amendment’s prohibition on government endorsement of religion.
She issued a 66-page decision and enjoined President Obama from issuing an executive order calling for the celebration of a National Day of Prayer. . . .
What I would like to know is that precise point in history in which the wording in the Constitution making it illegal for the government to establish religion was reinterpreted to make it illegal for government to promote religion.
And I would like to know what religion the long standing tradition of the National Day of Prayer establishes?
