Nearly 70 Members of Congress Go to Court to Defend The National Day of Prayer
(CNSNews.com)
The American Center for Law and Justice filed a friend of the court brief last week on behalf of 63 House members and four senators -- Republicans and Democrats -- in a legal case defending the constitutionality of the National Day of Prayer. On April 15, a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled in favor of the Freedom From Religion Foundation that the National Day of Prayer violated the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment. The Justice Department has appealed the case to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago.
