Wiccan Priestess Loses High Court Appeal

The county "issues invitations to deliver prayers to all Christian, Muslim, and Jewish religious leaders in the country. It refuses to issue invitations to Native Americans, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Wiccans, or members of any other religion," justices were told in her appeal by American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Rebecca Glenberg.

The county's attorney, Steven Micas, said that the county's practice was in line with the Supreme Court's endorsement of legislative prayer as long as it did not proselytize, advance or disparage a particular religion.


I have been having wicked brain fog since last night and can't seem to form thoughts around much of anything, so, would very much appreciate any comments y'all have. Maybe it'll help me emerge from the cloudy zone.

Questions I have - did the Supreme Court review this case and form opinions or just mark it "denied" and move along? Who decides what's going to be reviewed? Is it the Chief Justice or the full Supreme Court?

Was it ignored because there was no legal reason for a review of the appeal or was it ignored because religions outside of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are not taken seriously enough or seen as being in high enough numbers to require inclusion? Finally, MUST there be prayers at every damn government anything? It's not like these people are listening to anyone other than lobbyists.
