The Stay Stays…
The Indiana House of Representative has suffered a setback in its quest to reinstate sectarian prayers. The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the chamber’s request to lift a federal court’s ruling barring prayers that invoke the names of specific religious deities. House Speaker Brian Bosma says he’s not surprised at the ruling. In its opinion, the 7th Circuit ruled the issues were so important in the House prayer case that it wanted to hear oral arguments. Those arguments will likely take place this summer.
