Legal Setback

The FFRF filed a suit last April against the Veterans Affairs for incorporating religious beliefs into their treatment of patients. The AP and Capital Times reported yesterday that a 7th District Court upheld the constitutionality of the practice. This is a real legal setback for separationists, and is rather disturbing to me as I read about the judge,

"He just didn't get it. Part of his decision stated that VA chaplains are there to bring healing through God's grace and he said it without putting it in quotes. Does his courtroom operate that way, too?" Gaylor said.

Read the decision here, and notice what she mentioned occurred twice -- on pgs. 13 and 26.
