Local Wiccan Avoided by SCOTUS

Published on October 11, 2005 By Chaos Manager In Current Events

In the past couple of years, one of the local Wiccan priestesses has gotten her panties twisted in a knot because the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors (County south of Richmond, VA) wouldn't let her open their sessions in prayer. Instead, they returned to some of the local ministers to fulfill that duty. So, she did what any redblooded American would do. She sued them.

The Federal judge in Richmond sided with her. However, our buddies on the 4th Circuit (Gee, isn't that where the new Chief Justice came from?), overturned the case on appeal. Seems that the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors had admonished the clerics " to avoid invoking the name of Jesus."

She then proceeded to appeal to SCOTUS. The Supreme Court decided to not hear her appeal.

Hmmm.... I wonder why?

Considering the Board of Supervisors in question ... I'm not sure they've got hearts. So, I doubt that would work.

now I can skip the RTD rag.

Just one day? I manage to skip it everyday ... and don't miss much.
