Rutherford asks U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Councilman’s right to pray ‘In Jesus’ Name’

The Rutherford Institute reports: 

Attorneys for The Rutherford Institute have appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Fredericksburg City Councilman Hashmel Turner, who was prohibited from ending his prayers at council meetings “in Jesus’ name.” In asking the Court to hear the case, Institute attorneys are challenging the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling that Turner’s prayers constituted “government speech” and were not protected by the First Amendment . . .
