No inaugural prayer at all? Not likely

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has filed a 34-page legal complaint seeking to bar prayer from the Jan. 20 presidential inauguration.

There is some debate over the possibility that the suit filed by Michael A. Newdow, 17 other individuals and 10 groups has a chance of success.

We think Scott Walter, executive director of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty was on target when he told the Washington Post:

Newdow's lawsuit over the inauguration is a lot like the streaker at the Super Bowl: a pale, self-absorbed distraction. And anybody who looks at it carefully can see there's not much there.
