It is not now, nor will it ever be the role of a judge to “stand up against the majority and fight for what you believe in.” A judge’s only duty is to rule on the constitutionality of an issue before them. Additionally, the National Day of Prayer has nothing to with either a “federal ban on religion” or “the endorsement of religion”. It is rather, a simple acknowledgement as Samuel Adams said on September 6, 1774 on the second day of the Continental Congress in proposing the session be opened with prayer, in spite of the various Christian sects represented: “Christian men, who come together for solemn deliberation in the hour of their extremity, to say there was so wide a difference in their religious belief that they could not, as one man, bow the knee in prayer to the Almighty, whose advice and assistance they hope to obtain.” American history is rife with examples of the founder’s approval, even encouragement of prayer in the public discourse and square. To argue otherwise is to deny both the founder’s intent and the reality of our history.
