We Got to Pray

U.S. District Judge, Barbara Crabb, recently took some 66 pages (666 pages might have been too obvious) to explain why she thinks that a National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional.  See article here.  Of course she tries to cover her tracks with something that sounds logical...we don't have a "National Day of Blasphemy."  Brilliant.  Nothing against Wisconsinians, but apparently in Wisconsin, there is a way for you to pass law school, pass the bar exam, become a career judge, and still find a way not to use your mind.  What motivates a judge to tackle prayer at large?  I don't know church lady.  Could it be Satan?

Three points:
1. Crabb says that her ruling is based on relevant case law.  I understand that precedent is important in law, however, there can be no precedent which supports her ruling because her ruling is illogical.  If the "relevant" case law supports her latest decision, then the "relevant" case law is also illogical.  But she would realize that if she weren't a flaming lib with judgment as cloudy as an old man's cataract.

2. Some people like to hang their hat on "separation of church and state", something that the Constitution doesn't really do.  What it does do is limit the government's power so that it cannot become a theocracy and enslave the public with a specific religion of its choosing.  What the Constitution actually says is that congress shall pass no law establishing religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.  Don't take my word for it, get out your own dang copy and read the thing.  See the 1st Amendment.  What this old Crabb is doing is closer to legally prohibiting the free exercise thereof.  And that actually is unconstitutional.  A National Day of Prayer is not a law that establishes a religion.  In fact, if I'm not mistaken, it's not even a law.  Therefore it is not unconstitutional.

3. Finally, this whole thing started because a group of deliquents called Freedom from Religion Foundation pushed for it.  Personally, I think it would be cooler to be in the chess club or even the Stare-at-your-own-lugi-foundation than to be a part of this group.  But the Constitution that they seek to destroy protects their right to form a peaceful assembly of windbags.  You got to love atheists:  the only group I know that are so passionate about believing in nothing. 

If you're listening, Crabb, FRF, and the rest of America...  You probably think you'll do just fine by removing God from your life.  I wonder how confident you'll be if God decides to remove you from His.
