6. Wow. That was scary crazy

And so wholly inappropriate. I have worked for an elected official for 13 years at different levels of government. I hate invocations. No one should feel uncomfortable because of prayers imposed at a government meeting. I have often stood, as a Jewish woman, standing alone with my head unbowed, not crossing myself and I live in a suburb of NYC.
But the court has upheld it in Town of Greece v. Galloway in a decision written by Anthony Kennedy.
I would definitely have left the room during that bizarre tirade.
