Supreme Court revives Kansas woman’s prayer lawsuit

[Swordsmyth]

The lawsuit filed by a Kansas woman who claims police ordered her to stop praying in her home has been revived after the U.S. Supreme Court last week summarily reversed a lower court ruling that had thrown it out. Mary Anne Sause sued several Louisburg, Kansas, police officers and city officials in 2015 alleging her civil rights were violated while police were investigating a noise complaint two years earlier. The lawsuit alleges an officer told her she was going to jail, and when she knelt down to pray another officer told her to stop praying.
First Liberty Institute, a nonprofit which advocates for religious liberty, says in a news release it had asked the high court to reverse an appellate court’s ruling that the officers were entitled to qualified immunity.

So you get placed under arrest and all you need to do is drop to your knees and start praying and that's suddenly a civil rights violation?
