In April 2011, the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the FFRF's challenge to the NDoP, holding that the FFRF did not have standing to challenge the NDoP statute or proclamations and that only the President was injured enough to challenge the NDoP statute.
U travnju 2011. godine Američki prizivni sud Sedam okruga odbacio je FFRF-ov spor o Nacionalnom danu molitve tvrdnjom da FFRF nije imao osnove za osporavanje NDoP-ova statuta ili proklamacijâ i da je samo Predsjednik bio dovoljno oštećen da ospori statut NDoP-a.
