U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb says that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional. I don't think she understands the Constitution at all. She says that "the government can no more enact laws supporting a day of prayer than it can encourage citizens to fast during Ramadan, attend a synagogue or practice magic."
Sure it can -- what the Constitution says about religion is that the government cannot establish a religion or hinder the free exercise of religion. I'm ruling Judge Crabb unconstitutional.
Paris News funny for the day: The subject matter is certainly not funny, but you would think that someone advocating for a cause would at least know the terminology associated with that cause. A letter writer to The News said, " . . .He was a victim of shaking baby syndrome." I'm quite certain the child didn't have Parkinson's, but was instead a shaken baby.
