The Supreme Court today agreed to hear Town of Greece v. Galloway , a case out of New York in which the Second Circuit held, in an opinion by Judge Guido Calabresi, that the towns practice of allowing private citizens to open town board meetings with a prayer violates the Establishment Clause. The last legislative prayer case at the high court was thirty years ago. My colleague Marc DeGirolami has the details at the Center for Law and Religion Forum .
