What legislative remedy? We’re talking the US Constitution, and if the Court’s found this acceptable, the only fix is amending the Constitution, which is all but impossible to do. Congress might be able to pass resolutions for its own conduct, but that’s different than requiring all the nation’s political subdivisions to limit their prayers accordingly.

States might be able to limit this through their own state constitutional prohibitions, but with the federal constitution already making that difficult, you’re left with hoping the Court reversing and overruling the prior decisions in March and Greece.

Congress can pass legislation doing away with prayer before congressional sessions. State senates and city councils can do the same for themselves. Just because the court rules something is permissible doesn’t make it mandatory. Legislators can take action to fix problems, especially if it’s something voters want.
