[quote]The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that a town in upstate New York did not violate the Constitution by starting its public meetings with a prayer from a “chaplain of the month” who was almost always Christian.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, writing for the majority in a 5-to-4 decision that divided the court’s more conservative members from its liberal ones, said the prayers were merely ceremonial. They were neither unduly sectarian nor likely to make members of other faiths feel unwelcome.[/quote]
It is surely a coincidence that all of the members of the majority in this case were Catholic and all of non-Christians in the court were in the minority.

I am tired of these 5-4 rulings along party lines. The divide in our body of politic has invaded every aspect of our government and lives. This should have been a cut and dried case. Instead we have more partisan politics in the judiciary. Our government is dying, our way of life is ending, and the mentality of our party vs their party is what is killing it.
