And I can understand that concern, but let me remind you that the awards act came in 1976. In 1962, the United States Supreme Court struck down the notion of school prayer without the attorneys fees award act. In 1963, the Supreme Court struck down Bible reading in public schools, without the attorneys fees award act. This bill will simply allow the cases to actually continue to go to court.
