Rick may think we "have" to have sectarian prayers, but the Supreme Court
explicitly disagrees with that conclusion.  The Court has clearly stated that
sectarian prayers, such as those that invoke Jesus are unconstitutional in
the context of a legislative session.  In the opinion of the Court, requiring
that legislative prayers be non-sectarian does not increase the Establishment
Clause problem, it ensures that the Estagblishment Clause is not violated.
