Senator Chip Campsen has filed an Amicus brief with the United States Supreme Court asking them to review the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that banned invocations, or prayers before a legislative body convenes, from referencing a deity. Campsen was joined by over 20 fellow state senators in petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to review this case.
