re: #115 albusteve

what’s the difference?…they both allow federal property to be used for religious expression…there are choices, enforce the Constitution or don’t and shut up about it

I beg your pardon.

A religious display in the public space of a federal building establishes and approves a religious practice, which is CONTRARY to the Establishment Clause. The staffers reading the Book of Mormon on their lunch break are practicing their freedom of association and religion which is in ACCORDANCE with the Establishment Clause and other parts of the First Amendment.

The only issue is to what extent Congress must remove itself from official notice or sanction of the study group. I agree with Walter that the office of the chaplain itself is probably unconstitutional, and that I would prefer these activities to be taking place in multi-purpose rooms which would also be available to the Congressional Staffer D&D group.
