DC Circuit: House Can Exclude Secular Invocations

Other than noting trivia question (the "marijuana guy" after Bork was defeated -- happy 420 -- is only 72; he was on the panel), what stands out is the gratuitousness here. As noted in the opinion, "Conroy [House Chaplain] has clarified that the House interprets its rules to require a religious prayer." So, a secular invocation was refused. Gratuitous, even if (it is not on all fours probably) would be upheld per current doctrine. Many local secular invocations have occurred, respecting conscientious diversity. So, this is pretty avoidable.
