Supreme Court poised to side with Christian football coach fired for praying after games - TheBlaze:
The Washington Post reported that the questions raised by the court’s conservatives "indicated they believe the school district has misread the court’s precedents regarding government endorsement of religion, and perhaps were hostile to such demonstrations."
