The judicial assault on American values continues this morning, with a Jimmy Carter-appointed federal judge deciding that the National Day of Prayer — originally declared by President Harry Truman (D) — is unconstitutional.

Judge Crabb, an appointee of former President Jimmy Carter, wrote in her decision that ‘”some forms of ‘ceremonial deism,’ such as legislative prayer, do not violate the establishment clause.” But she said the National Day of Prayer goes too far.

“It goes beyond mere acknowledgment of religion because its sole purpose is to encourage all citizens to engage in prayer, an inherently religious exercise that serves no secular function in this context,” she said. “In this instance, the government has taken sides on a matter that must be left to individual conscience.”…

The suit was originally filed against then-President George W. Bush and members of his administration, but President Obama is now listed as the defendant because the president enforces the statute in question by issuing a proclamation each year declaring National Day of Prayer.

Another liberal judge who thinks freedom of religion guarantees freedom from religion. A judge in Wisconsin, home to extreme liberal Senator Russ Feingold (D), has decided that asking Americans to pray for their country is a horror and can not be permitted.

The left-wing’s assault on traditional American values continues. Hopefully Crabb’s absurd decision will be overturned. Otherwise the culture war is about to get uglier.
