"Feelings" Judge: Barbara Crabb

Well, somebody had to say it. Now we'll learn if Morris Albert is admissible.

A district judge's decision that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional is being challenged on the argument, submitted in friend-of-the-court briefs to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, that never before has any court decided that "hurt feelings" are grounds for making a claim.

"The district court in this case embraced an entirely novel – and improper – basis for standing: hurt feelings," said the brief submitted by the American Center for Law and Justice. "Never has the Supreme Court endorsed anything like such a wide-open concept of access to federal adjudication.

"Indeed, to the extent the Supreme Court has addressed the issue at all, it has firmly repudiated such limitless theories of Article III standing," the brief continued.

And who is the "feelings" judge? None other than Wisconsin's own.

The arguments from the ACLJ came in an appeal pending before the 7th Circuit of a decision by U.S. District Judge Barbara B. Crabb of Wisconsin, who decided the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional.

FeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEElings, Woah Woah Woah, FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEElings....

What a turkey....
