This NY Times story deserves more attention. An extremist first-term Republican Congressman gets all upset about a 23-year-old court opinion about school prayer at a commencement ceremony.

Congressman Tim Burchett, of course, joined the lemming-like rush to kill the legislation. We really need a better congressman.
