On September 29th, an appeals court in Louisiana allowed a judge to lead prayer in his public courtroom, overturning last year’s verdict from a district court in Texas. According to the original lawsuit filed in May 2021, attorney John Roe (pseudonym) contacted the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) with complaints about the court’s behavior. Roe mentioned that each day started with an overview of the court’s “Chaplaincy Program,” wherein an assigned chaplain (usually Protestant) delivered a prayer of their choosing, which Judge Mack invited everyone to stand up for. In response to a letter from FFRF, Judge Mack installed signs outside and a television in the back of the courtroom notifying that people are not required to be present or participate in the brief opening ceremony that includes a invocation by a volunteer chaplain pledging to the United States and Texas state flag. On May 29th, 2019, FFRF and Roe sued the judge in both his individual and official judiciary capacity on behalf of the state of Texas. However, on this most recent appeal, a three-judge panel ruled two-to-one to overturn that decision, officially allowing prayer to continue in the Texas courtroom.
