WASHINGTON, D.C.– Today the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold the religious rights of those in Greece, N.Y. to practice public prayer before town board meetings.

In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling, Rep. Ralph Hall (TX-04) made the following statement:

“Our Nation is founded upon Christian principles, and our Constitution protects every American’s right to religious freedom and expression. At a time when Christian faith is facing many challenges by this Administration, I am encouraged by the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold individuals’ freedom of religion through public prayer. I pray for wisdom for our Nation’s leaders and that God may continue to bless America.”
