I think this article provides a lot of much-needed context in how the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in a few cases involving religious questions over the this millenium or so. The author was grossly unfair, unwise, and wrong in his attack against Justice Scalia at the very beginning of the article. ( Even though I'm not particularly religious, I see no problem with Catholics or religious people on the Supreme Court. In fact, my favorite justices are: Justice Scalia, Justice Thomas, and Justice Alito, who are three of the Court's six Catholic justices! I base my view of the justices sole on their respective constitutional views, not their religion. FYI, the author was born in Ukraine and immigrated here with his family when he was seven. I couldn't find that he has a religious affiliation. But guessing by his disgusting comments about Justice Scalia, I would bet he is secular./rwa

All of the socialists on the Court vote as ordered. All of the time.

Scalia’s Catholicism is not a problem. But, the fact that of the nine justices, six are Catholic and three are Jewish is a problem... and kind of creepy.
