the heroic ninth circuit continues its defense of the constitution "A federal appeals court ruled today that government libraries can block religious groups from worshipping in public meeting rooms. The decision overturns a lower court order allowing a Christian group to pray in a Contra Costa County library. The Faith Center Church Evangelistic Ministries, which initially was rejected from holding prayer services at the county's Antioch branch, had won a court order allowing them to pray in meeting rooms open to other groups. A federal judge said it had a First Amendment right of religion to use the public's facilities. But a three-judge panel of the Ninth U-S Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that ruling today. Judge Richard Paez said "Prohibiting Faith Center's religious worship services from the Antioch meeting room is a permissible exclusion of a category of speech."
