Forsyth To Appeal Prayer Case To US Supreme Court
A North Carolina county wants to make its case to the U.S. Supreme Court that public meetings should be allowed to start with prayers singling out Jesus Christ for praise.
The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners voted 6-1 Monday night to continue its case to the nation's high court if conservative foundations continue to pay its legal fees, including attorney's bills if the county loses.
A federal appeals court in Richmond, Va., ruled last month that the county commission was wrong to allow opening prayers at its meetings that singled out praise for a specific deity.
A 2007 lawsuit objecting to the county mixing religion and public business said most of the prayers delivered by religious leaders in 2006 ended by using the name Jesus Christ. Perhaps some of you don't know church history. It might behove you to learn that the Puritans came here because they were persecuted by the Anglicans (another Christian sect). Then, they decided to persecute the Quakers! Apparently the Puritans didn't learn anything from their own persecution-funny how power can do that. In Europe the rulers determined what church the people were forced to attend; thus the influx of Mennonites and Moravians into North America. All these were Christian denominations-persecuting each other. And you wonder why our fore-fathers separated the church from the government? The right-wing fundamentalists who are trying to dictate religion through government are in direct opposition to the positions of our founders! I am not surprised that many learned men of that day were deists, I am surprised any managed to retain their faith with what they were witnessing. Can you just see Bachmann explaining to Jefferson or Franklin that science is bunk? Can you see the TP telling Hamilton that taxes are evil? If it weren't so tragically ignorant, it would be funny.

Court of Appeals decides two new Workers' Compensation cases ...
On August 2, 2011, the NC Court of Appeals decided the case of Capps v. Southeastern Cable , in which it held that an installer of cable TV and internet services was an employee, and not an independent contractor. The Court based its decision on the conditions of the employment, and gave no weight to the fact that the injured worker was called an independent contractor and had been required to get his own, inadequate, workers’ compensation insurance.
On the same day, the Court also decided the case of Wynn v. United Health Services , where it held that if an employer requires an injured worker to return to work while he is still healing from his injury, the work must be a real job, and not make-work. This decision only applies to workers injured before May 25, 2011, since on that date the North Carolina legislature changed the law to allow the employer to provide the employee twith make-work before he fully recovers from his injury, as long as it is approved by the doctor and within the worker’s physical restrictions.
