In the Santa Fe case, Justice Stevens was
willing to concede that there could be a public forum for a selected person and
that the creation of such a forum would not confer on others a right to reply
.I don’t understand that myself, but I guess that is one small reason why
I am not a Supreme Court Justice. Marc Stern From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas Laycock If it's individual free speech, don't
they have to let everybody in? The Wiccan claim in Douglas Laycock University of 512-232-1341 512-471-6988 (fax) From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Conkle, Daniel O. The
Indiana Civil Liberties Union has sued state lawmakers for exceeding the limits
of Marsh by frequently offering prayers that are explicitly Christian.
The prayers sometimes are offered by individual lawmakers and sometimes by
volunteer clergy. The Speaker of the Indiana House has offered a free
speech defense, claiming that prayers may be offered by persons of various
faiths and that there are no content restrictions. I think this defense
is a loser, but I'm wondering if others might disagree, at least to the extent
that the prayers are offered by individual lawmakers--apparently on a rotating
and volunteer basis. Dan
