If you wouldn't have a problem with prayer if it was ruled constitutional tomorrow, then I don't know why you would have a problem with prayer right now. Laws aren't always right. It seems like it would pretty silly to complain about prayer if you don't have a problem with it. If you complain about it, I think you are just being a "trouble-maker".
You even said yourself that you don't always obeys laws that you don't like such as speed-limits.
Sure it is important that we follow laws in general because if nobody followed laws there would be chaos. If people ignored traffic signals, there would be a ton of traffic accidents. But if it's 2:00am and you are the only car on the road and you are stopped at a red-light, and you can see clearly see in every direction that the road is empty, I don't think you need to wait for the light to turn green. Most laws are a mean to an end. They aren't an end in themselves.
