Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore and the Foundation for Moral Law hailed the decision issued yesterday by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in Hinrichs v. Speaker of the House, Indiana General Assembly as a victory in the battle against prayer censorship in the halls of government. The Hinrichs decision reversed an order by a federal district court banning prayers given in the name of Jesus in the Indiana legislature, the result Judge Moore and the Foundation had asked for in its amicus brief filed before the Court--but the Court did so only because the particular plaintiffs in the case did not have legal standing to bring their lawsuit.
