How are your rights violated by not having a statue of the Ten Commandents in the courthouse? How are your rights infringed by not hearing a two minuter prayer?
By not allowing my free exercise clause in the first amendment to be fulfilled because one person out of 6,000 at an event(if even that many) are allegedly "harmed".
