The Boston City Council's failure to invite the Satanic Temple to deliver an invocation before its meetings did not violate the First Amendment, a federal appeals court ruled. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston said there was no violation of the free exercise and establishment clauses.
Choosing invocation speakers based on their work in the community does not violate the establishment clause, the 1st Circuit said. There is no showing that city.
