"In the lawsuit , Rev. Patrick J. Mahoney claims Pelosi, Harris (in her capacity as president of the Senate), the U.S. Capitol Police, and the Sergeant at Arms of the U.S. Senate, Karen H. Gibson, violated his First Amendment rights by refusing to let him pray at the Lower Western Terrace of the Capitol on Good Friday. He claims this refusal violated his rights to free speech, freedom of assembly, free exercise of religion, and due process.
Among other things, his lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction forcing the defendants to let him pray at the U.S. Capitol on Good Friday, April 2, 2021."
