Is Prayer Bill a Political Ploy?

The ACLU states that legislation introduced by Mike Sodrel is nothing more than a political ploy.
The bill would prevent federal courts from ruling on the content of speech in legislatures. It is in response to a ruling by Judge David Hamilton who said that Indiana House sessions could not begin by endorsing any particular religion.

I agree on concept. It is not the state's job to "endorse" religion. But when a statesman stands before his peers and prays it is not for the state. It is for his/ her own moral and religious guidance in the decisions they are about to make. Its that person's right under the constitution to have freedom of speech.

Was this bill a political ploy? Most certainly. But it was a political ploy in response to a political ploy by a Judge legislating from the bench.

Sorry if I seem cynical about the ACLU but that is because of their history of discriminatory practices in fighting for civil rights.
