Missouri Set to Vote on Prayer Amendment

On Tuesday, Missouri voters will vote on the proposed Amendment 2, nicknamed the "Prayer Amendment".

The amendment is meant to better define freedom of speech for Missourians, and protect people's right to pray or hold Bible studies.

Opponents say that it simply will only bring more lawsuits, and cost tax payers more money.

Others accuse supporters of attempting to place Christianity above other religions or of trying to end separation of church and state.

Voters seem to disagree, as a recent poll found that eighty-two percent of the state's voters would vote for it.

When it does pass, it will undoubtedly face challenge in federal courts, and eventually the Supreme Court.
