National Day of Prayer Ruled Unconstitutional. Obama Will Appeal.

Gawd, a judge who believes in the separation of Church and State. Where the hell did she come from? Or exactly what country does she think she's living in? Never fear, this moment of sanity will not last. The Obama Administration will appeal:

The Justice Department says it intends to appeal a federal court ruling that found the National Day of Prayer to be a violation of the separation between church and state. The ruling came in a lawsuit filed against President Obama and White House spokesman Robert Gibbs. One week ago, a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled that the president's declaration of a national day for prayer was unconstitutional.

Judge Barbara Crabb ruled last week that while the government can be involved in prayer when it serves a secular purpose, it cannot go further and call for religious action on the part of its
citizens.
