WASHINGTON, April 22 /Standard Newswire/ -- Congressman J. Randy Forbes (VA-04) released the following statement after the Department of Justice announced that it will appeal U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb's ruling that found the National Day of Prayer to be unconstitutional.
"I applaud the decision by the Department of Justice to appeal the ruling that the statute establishing a National Day of Prayer violates the Establishment Clause. Yesterday, in a bi-partisan press conference, I joined 30 Members of Congress and representatives from faith organizations, in calling for the Department of Justice and the White House to appeal and vigorously defend this case, and am pleased that they will do so.
"I look forward to continuing to work with Members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus to affirm the constitutionality of the National Day of Prayer and to allow religion, faith, and morality into the marketplace of ideas."
