The Presidential Nominee by David Barton and Rick Green

His first suggestion an extremely troubling one is of Fed. District Judge David Hamilton to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, which oversees Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. When Hamilton was made a Fed. 3 years back in 2006, Judge Hamilton delivered a unheard-of controlling, ordering the Indiana Legislature to drop its 188-year-old practice of opening legislative sessions with prayer.
Strikingly, the case had been brought before him by the Indiana ACLU, the group he had helped direct. Although the legislature had requests from Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Muslim priests, Judge Hamilton groaned that some of the ministers had employed the unsound words in their requests.
For 7 years, Indiana has been stopped from effecting a statute materially matching to a law held valid by the high court in Casey [in 1992], by this court in Karlin [in 1998], and by the fifth circuit in Barnes [in 1992]. No court anywhere in the country ( aside from one district judge in Indiana [i.e, Hamilton] ) has held any similar law invalid in the years since Casey. Though Salerno [in 1987] doesn't foreclose all pre-enforcement challenges to termination laws, it is an abuse of restraint for a district judge to distibute a pre-enforcement injunction while the result of the law ( and reasons for those effects ) are open to argue.

About David Barton

David Barton wants to share soething with you. Judge David Hamilton has demonstrated himself to be an acute pro-abortion activist and a non mundane bigot, especially singling out Christianity for antagonistic treatment. Now, President Obama wants to reward him by raising him to the court that overruled his radical calls. USA citizens don't need legal activists on Fed. Courts who intentionally weaken the constitutional protection of life and non secular freedom.
