On November 6, 2013, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Town of Greece v. Galloway. The question in the case is whether the practice of opening a town meeting with prayer violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment despite the fact that no particular faith was given preferential treatment in the selection of persons to offer the prayers and notwithstanding the absence of forbidden exploitation of the prayer opportunity.

To discuss the case, we have Kim Colby, who is Senior Counsel for the Christian Legal Society.

As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
