Loading ...Council Prayer Fight
Here we go again! The fight over public prayer in the legislature may be moving from the Statehouse to the City-County Building. City-County Councilmember Roselle Boyd warned the Council they may have to eliminate sectarian prayers at the opening of the session if the state loses its own prayer battle in federal court. Some council members oppose any change. Republican Scott Schneider says he’ll fight any effort to change prayer before the council sessions. A few months ago City-County Councilor Angela Mansfield sent an e-mail to her fellow councilors warning them the body could be looking at litigation if it did not end sectarian prayers. Lord help me, here we go again!

Isn’t this a separation of powers issue? Should the Judicial branch be able to limit speech by legislators? What next legislators can’t talk about budget cuts, or talk about judicial term limits, or I-69 expansion because it runs through the Hamilton family farm?
This comes down to unlawful limits on the discussion conducted by the legislative branch and an unelected official imposing his or her will over elected official or rather over the voters without any check.
