defrogITEM: David Van Vleet of Pierce County, Washington has filed court papers to get the personal information of local strippers – i.e. names and addresses – that's on their state entertainer licenses in order to pray for their salvation.
Van Vleet is unhappy because, while he has a technical legal right to ask for the information, the judge opted to give a heads-up to all of the strippers involved, which allowed strip club managers to sue the county, thus delaying the release of the addresses – and thus violating Van Vleet’s 1A right to pray for the strippers:
The rest of the story is worth reading, but I’m going to end it here on the ponderous concept of needing the street address of the person yr praying for.
FULL DISCLOSURE: I’m a Christian, and I don’t pretend to understand all the mysteries of faith, but I’m reasonably sure God doesn’t require a street address to answer prayers.
Who’s that knocking at yr door,
This is dF

“[The judge] essentially silenced seven million people in the state of Washington to protect 70 peoples’ so-called right to privacy who dance on a stage naked,” he said, according to RawStory.com.
