Legislative Prayer: Podcast from the National Constitution Center
Today I participated in an audio podcast, organized by the National Constitution Center, on this week's legislative-prayer argument in the Supreme Court (Town of Greece v. Galloway). The other participants were Marci Hamilton, Steven Smith, and moderator Jeff Rosen, law professor and the (relatively) new president/CEO of the Center. It was a very enjoyable discussion; read about it and listen to it. Focused as I am these days on threats to the free exercise of religion, I included an argument that special limits on government-sponsored prayer under the Establishment Clause should be matched by special protections for religiously motivated conduct under the Free Exercise Clause.
