First Liberty Institute is asking the court to overturn a crucial church-state precedent, Santa Fe v. Doe, a 2000 opinion that prevented public schools from broadcasting Christian prayers at football games, thereby safeguarding the religious freedom and rights of every single person. The same Christian Nationalist group that brought the case of the football coach that imposed his Christian prayers on other people’s kids is back at the court. Will the court take the case? And can Brett Kavanaugh even hear this case? Or does his history show a serious bias?

They think the history shows that we’re a Christian Nation. The Supreme Court has even agreed, all because of a prayer at the Continental Congress back in 1774. It’s story time. Because that prayer, which has huge legal implications today, is only the beginning of the tale. Today we’re going to learn about the traitor who gave America prayer.
