The nation's highest court today refused to hear Virginia's appeal.
[ANCHOR=Keith 2-Shot]
The decision upholds a ruling from Judge Norman Moon that organized prayer at a state-supported military school is un-Constitutional.
[ENG#=4]
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Lexington/2001]
In 2001 Cadets Neil Mellen and Paul Knick sued Superintendent Josiah Bunting, challenging the Constitutionality of compulsory prayer at mealtime. The two cadets have since graduated, and General Bunting has retired. So the Supreme Court says it's a moot issue. Justice Antonin Scalia disagrees, pointing out "VMI has previously seen another of its traditions abolished by this Court," referring to the 1996 decision that led to the admission of women. "This time, however," Scalia writes, VMI's "cause has been ignored rather than rejected- -though the consequence will be just the same." Chief Justice William Rehnquist sided with Scalia, urging the full court to consider the prayer issue.

The majority opinion of the court today noted "there is no injunction presently barring V-M-I from re-instituting the supper prayer." But Justice Scalia pointed out that the school would open itself to lawsuits for damages, if it did reinstitute the evening prayer. And a spokesman for the Institute said the corps doesn't eat together as a whole anymore anyway, so the structure for that is no longer there.

The Senate Finance Committee unanimously approved a tax plan that boosts the state sales tax by half a penny.
Half of the increase will be dedicated to pay for public education.
The plan raises the state's cigarette tax to thirty cents, increases the recordation tax, closes some corporate loopholes and gobbles up some of the food tax.
The big change is a cap on the state car tax reimbursements.
Without the freeze, the car tax phaseout is expected to cost the state one-point-seven billion dollars a year.
