We absolutely must establish atheism as the state religion I guess. Just to make things fair and all.

Not a big deal. Higher court rulings are binding on lower courts. Even if it was a Pat Buchanan-appointee, he would have to uphold the Ninth Circus' ruling. The Supreme Court will probably reverse the ruling in the appeal. Probably by 5-4 or 6-3.

Say it anyway. Defy the court. Actually, you will be defying nothing.

How is a judge bound by a ruling of a lower court, that the SCOTUS tosses ?

It was tossed on procedural grounds, but the reasoning still stands, and lower courts are still bound by it.

Someone please saw off SF and float it out to sea - easy there, it is just where the court is located, we had nothing to do with the decision.
To: FreedomCalls
A lower court judge did. I'd love to see the Democrats defend this one in 2006.

A district court judge is bound by a decision of the appellate court for her circuit. However, a district court judge is NOT bound by a prior appellate decision which is subsequently vacated by the Supreme Court. A vacation essentially means that the 9th Circuit decision is a nullity. Of course since the vacation by the Supreme Court was on the basis of a lack of standing, a district court judge may decide to nevertheless follow the reasoning of the appellate court - but it is not required.
