Moment of Silence Law Thrown Out

Chalk one up for pain-in-the-Christian-ass Rob Sherman. The staunch atheist Sherman and his daughter, Dawn, filed a legal challenge against a state law requiring a moment of silence at the start of each school day. U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman temporarily banned the law in May while he reviewed the case, and yesterday he completely tossed it out. Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan and her crew are reviewing an appeal.
