| U.S. Supreme Court: Don't Count Missionaries |
| The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Utah's challenge
to the 2000 Census Monday, essentially agreeing with lower court decisions
that allowed the U.S. Census Bureau to leave LDS missionaries from the U.S.
living abroad out of the dicennial count. The court's action leaves Utah
with just one challenge to the census left in its attempt to get an
additional seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. |
| California Cities Support Appeal of LDS Prayer Case |
| The city of Burbank is appealing a trial court ruling
that an LDS prayer at one of its council meetings was unconstitutional since
it mentioned "Jesus." Now 34 other California cities have joined Burbank's
appeal, hoping to prove that prayers at government functions that mention
Christ are constitutional. |
