National Day of Prayer reinstated by federal appeals court

Thursday a federal appeals court reinstated the National Day of Prayer, using a legal technicality to overturn a previous lower court ruling finding the National Day of Prayer to be unconstitutional.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago ruled that the Freedom From Religion Foundation lacked the legal standing to file the original complaint that led to the landmark ruling. "If anyone suffers injury ... that person is the president, who is not complaining," the court ruled.
