KBBI News reports that an Alaska state trial court judge yesterday in
Hunt v. Kenai Peninsula Borough (
complaint) held that the Kenai Peninsula Borough's invocation policy violates the Establishment Clause of the
Alaska Constitution. The Borough implemented a policy that allows only representatives of pre-approved religious organizations to offer invocations at meetings of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly. The move came after a member of the Satanic Temple
offered an invocation that ended with "Hail Satan."
