Sarah Posner (sarahposner.com, God's Profits, Unholy) and Eric Segall (Georgia State University, Supreme Myths)

On The Posner Show, Sarah talks to Eric about Town of Greece v.

Eric says that Supreme Court precedent on the subject of legislative prayers has created “chaos” and adopted a “pernicious” historical test. Eric argues that a moment of silence is the best solution. They discuss how the case is likely to play out before the Supreme Court. Plus: What about the Texas cheerleader case?
