Hypocritical Religious Right Leader Argues that Supreme Court Should Overrule God

Matt Barber of liberty counsel celebrates non-existent victories while looking for SCOTUS to let us do what Jesus said not to do
The list of Religious Right attacks on our freedoms both religious and otherwise is almost endless. And now it is approaching graduation time which means enforced prayer time for many.
Which means we find Matt Barber, Associate Dean at Liberty University School of Law, for whom intolerance is a profession (see his bio at GLAAD), complaining at World Net Daily that we resist having religion shoved down our throats at public school graduation ceremonies:
Yet as surely as the stink bug infests Virginia in May, spring brings with it a swarm of secularist bullies in the public schools. At once agitated and aided by left-wing extremist groups like the ACLU, Freedom From Religion Foundation, Americans United and People for the American Way, these anti-Christian segregationists seek to remove God from graduation altogether and intimidate His faithful into silence.
Segregationists. Really?
Coming from the Religious Right, which actively promotes segregation, not only along religious but ethnic lines, that charge is laughable.
Barber crows about his victory over anti-Christian stinkbugs in Adler v. Duval County School Board:
In a precedent-setting case against the ACLU that went all the way to the Supreme Court, Adler v. Duval County School Board, Liberty Counsel defended the right of students to pray or give religious messages at graduation. The case established the legal principle that public schools are free to adopt a policy that permits students or other speakers to present either secular or religious messages, including prayer, at commencement ceremonies.
In fact, as Americans United explains the case, Adler v. Duval County School Board (1996) was not all that dramatic: In October 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated the en banc ruling and remanded the case for further consideration in light of its Santa Fe decision.
