Supreme Court Takes Case On Prayer At Government Meetings
A challenge to the way a western New York State town board has had prayers read before its public meetings has made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The justices announced Monday morning that they will hear oral arguments in the case of Greece, N.Y. v. Galloway, Susan.
The issue, as SCOTUSBlog writes, is whether a federal appeals court was right when it ruled that the town board's practice violates the Constitution's Establishment Clause, which reads:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; 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."
