Supreme Court Police Violate 1st Amendment

Tyranny comes in many forms and from many places. The White House and Congress are not the only suspects. Today I share a story with you from DC, but this story involves a Supreme Court police officer.

From Foxnews:

A group of Christian students was ordered to stop praying outside the U.S. Supreme Court building on May 5 because a court police officer told them it was against the law.

The students were part of a junior high school American History class at Wickenburg Christian Academy in Arizona. After taking pictures on the steps of the Supreme Court building, their teacher gathered them to a side location where they formed a circle and began to pray.

According to Nate Kellum, senior counsel with the Alliance Defense Fund, a police officer “abruptly” interrupted the and ordered the group to cease and desist.

“They were told to stop praying because they were violating the law and they had to take their prayer elsewhere,” Kellum told FOX News.

This sort of thing happens every day. I have witnessed it. We all have, I am sure. People of authority on every level of government and public service usurping authority which is clearly illegal. This is nothing short of tyranny. The US Constitution gives Americans the right to practice their religion free from Government restriction. That right was apparently infringed upon.

Those kids had 2 strikes against them: they were praying and they were from Arizona!
