How can the Supreme Court do this:
"When the Court is in session, the 10 a.m. entrance of the Justices into the Courtroom is announced by the Marshal. Those present, at the sound of the gavel, arise and remain standing until the robed Justices are seated following the traditional chant: "The Honorable, the Chief Justice and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! All persons having business before the Honorable, the Supreme Court of the United States, are admonished to draw near and give their attention, for the Court is now sitting. God save the United States and this Honorable Court!"
The Court and Its Procedures - Supreme Court of the United States
And then Debate this?:
Colorful questions, but few easy answers, as court wrestles with prayer - U.S. News
The 10 Commandments are Repeatedly displayed around the Court.
But why stop at the Court... What about the other Branches of Gubmn't?...
^What Book is that that Barry has his hand on as he takes the Oath of Office?... Does it say Jesus in it anywhere?...
How many Federal Oaths have this in them: "So help me God."?
Let's move over to the Republican Branch.
The Office of the Chaplain, United States House of Representatives
"Opening Prayer
10/30/2013
Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, S.J.
Eternal God, we give You thanks for giving us another day.
Once again, we come to ask wisdom, patience, peace, and understanding for the Members of this people's House.
On this day, we ask Your blessing on the men and women, citizens all, whose votes have populated this people's House. Each Member of this House has been given the sacred duty of representing them.
Today, we mourn the loss of former Congressman Ike Skelton, a true public servant and staunch supporter of our military. May he and his family find solace and peace at this time. Bring each of us, at last, to that place where our hearts will rest in You.
Bless us this day and every day, and may all that is done within the people's House this day be for Your greater honor and glory.
Amen."
Or maybe the Senate?...
U.S. Senate: Reference Home > Senate Organization > Chaplain's Office
^According to that, there is "no Separation of God and State'... That's the US Senate.
Did you know that the Chaplain of the Senate makes over $150,000 a year and has a Staff?...
True Story.
I would Hope that the Despotic Branch is taking the Facts and the History into Account as they Decide.
peace...
