En Banc Review Sought In 5th Circuit School Board Prayer Case
Yesterday, both sides filed motions asking the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to grant en banc review of a 3-judge panel’s fragmented December decision in Doe v. Tangipahoa Parish School District. (See prior posting.) The three judge panel was unable to agree on whether the Lemon case or the Marsh (legislative prayer) case governed invocations at school board meetings. 2theadvocate reported today on these developments.
