You have terribly misstated Justice Souter's concurring opinion in Lee v. Weisman. Readers of this post should read the document for themselves, which can be found here: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=case&court=us&vol=505&page=577

I think that Souter and his cohorts terribly misrepresented the 1st Amendment. I have a question for you and Souter: Why were prayers at graduations permitted for 200 years? If it was improper, why wasn't it stopped in 1800? Why did Congress publish the first bible in America? History is NOT on the side of Souter. That is for sure. What is the true precedent here? Why did some of the founding fathers give benedictions and even sermons at graduations?
