laws are legislation - not arbitrary rulings by little gods in black robes.

Nevertheless, even conservative Supreme Court Justices, such as Rehnquist and Scalia, are on the record as claming that the First Amendment prevents the states from displaying certain religious symbols all year around.

How do you propose to correct this consensus view among liberals and conservatives judges?

Renquist called the phoney doctrine of separation of church and state "bad history" and bad law. So, I don't know what you are talking about. If he voted with the liberals on some of these cases, then he was wrong. The liberal judges don't care about history or true intent - they reshape the Constitution to coincide with their liberal atheistic ideology. CAse in point: 1992 Lee vs. Wiseman - Court rules 5-4 that prayers could not be given at public school graduations even though dissenting lawyers had made an irrefutable historical case that the founding fathers not only prayed at public graduations but GAVE SERMONS! In his concurring opinion, the idiot David Souter acknowledged these facts of history, but concluded that the founding fathers had therefore "turned their backs" on the ideals of the Constitution. Do you see that? Thank you David Souter! You know more about the ideals of the Constitution than the men who wrote, debated and ratified the 1st Amendment!!!
