The Idaho Senate convened Tuesday with a Hindu prayer for the first time since Idaho acquired statehood in 1890, drawing objections from seven lawmakers who refused to attend the invocation. The lawmakers, all Republican, only came back onto the floor once the prayer was over. Idaho Statesman story here. (Idaho Statesman/AP photo: Kyle Green)
