LOL, you still think Lemon obtains. You better tell Patrick to update his page and ping "THE LIST" because Lemon has had a fork stuck in it by no less than 5, thats right 5, justices. Neutrality is the new buzzword Professor.
Yes, basically.

Alas, it does not appear the School Board was neutral. They on numerous occasions made clear their goal was positively to introduce religion into the classroom. The recent Ten Commandments cases make it clear that the objective of the government action is paramount in deciding whether the actions are constitutionally permissible. This is why the ACLU made such an issue of the discussion of religion in the school board meetings, and why the Thomas More lawyers have been trying (unsuccessfully) to keep that evidence out.
The Court's thinking about the Establishment Clause is so muddled that no one can predict that the Court will not rule differently in two nearly identical cases. This is a perfect enviroment for someone like Sandra Day, who seems to come to each case as though the Constutution were written yesterday. God help us when "consensus" comes to mean the whim of a single woman.
