Can a Jew who does not observe Shabbat act as a shaliach tzibur (to lead prayers on behalf the congregation)? I know that many are lenient and find reasons to count a mechalel shabbat for a minyan, but I am not certain if there is a stricter standard for allowing them to lead a service and have their prayer represent other people's. Is it relevant whether the particular service is on Shabbat (like that could be scoffing in a way that a weekday wouldn't)?
Inspired by this question.
