    Who is US Attorney, Robert F. Hodges and what is the source of this quote?

    I’ve done a quick search, and the only place I found with any mention of him is Atheist DOTD. I would really like to know if this is an actual statement made by a U.S. attorney.

    A very curious quote no matter how mistaken in regards to what ‘the state’ can do constitutionally, since it has joyfully participated in the superstition stuffing of late.
