Perry's Day of Prayer - TX

Atheists' lawsuit thrown out due to lack of standing:

There's a great deal of debate related to the event. Apparently it was featured on a state website and official stationery was used for invitations - both of which can be construed as crossing the state/church line.

It's a fine line - Perry should be able to attend a religious event, but it shouldn't come across as being state-sponsored.

I loathe Rick Perry. His handling of the prayer event has been almost as heavy-fisted and bumbling as his handling of the governorship.
