We must pray this judge who supports satan worshipers over us off the court.
Appeals court rules South Carolina City council prayers unconstitutional
Published July 22, 2004
RICHMOND, Va. -- A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld a judge's ruling that prohibits the Great Falls, S.C., Town Council from opening its meetings with a prayer that mentions Jesus Christ.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heade4d by Judge Diana Gibbon Motz who gave the opinion unanimously ruled that such prayers amount to an unconstitutional government advancement of one religion: Christianity.
Darla Kaye Wynne, a Wiccan high priestess, who worships satan, sued the town after its leaders refused to open meetings only with nonsectarian prayers or to allow members of different faiths to lead the prayers. Wynne claimed she was offended and ostracized for refusing to stand and bow her head during the Christian prayers.
U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan of Rock Hill, S.C., ruled last August that the prayers violated the First Amendment's establishment of religion clause. The appeals court agreed, citing U.S. Supreme Court rulings that allow only generic prayers by government bodies.
"Public officials' brief invocations of the Almighty before engaging in public business have always ... been part of our nation's history," Judge Diana Gribbon Motz wrote. "The Town Council of Great Falls remains free to engage in such invocations prior to council meetings. The opportunity to do so may provide a source of strength to believers, and a time of quiet reflection for all."
She continued: "This opportunity does not, however, provide the Town Council, or any other legislative body, license to advance its own religious views in preference to all others, as the Town Council did here."
Judge Robert King and Judge David R. Hansen, a member of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals designated to hear the case, joined in the ruling.
Judge King is a very evil man. He ruled against VMI having prayer before meals. That is a military academy that has been doing that over 100 years. He even ruled against a moment of silence at VMI. There he was the decenting vote. This guy really does not like anything about God at all. We must pray him off the court.
This included Judge Diana Gibbon Motz we must pray her off the court
 | | Judge Motz is a [B]graduate of Vassar College [/B] and the University of Virginia School of Law. She was appointed to her present position in 1994 after a three-year term as associate judge for the Court of Special Appeals for the Sixth Appellate Circuit. |
Her opinion: OPINION
DIANA GRIBBON MOTZ, Circuit Judge:
Darla Kaye Wynne a satan worshiper brought this suit to prohibit the Town Council of Great Falls, South Carolina from engaging in prayers that specifically invoke Jesus Christ during monthly council meetings. Following
a bench trial, the district court entered judgment for Wynne, ruling
that the "practice of members of Town Council invoking name(s) specifically
associated with the Christian faith at Town Council meetings
violate[d] the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the
United States Constitution." For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
