The Constitution is not worth defending only while people like you or me are in the majority.

People like me are not remotely in the majority, and in fact the whole reason for having a constitution is to protect minorities from tyrannical democracy. What does that have to do with what I said? Can you *really* imagine a majority-Muslim US government unwilling to establish religion because of the 1st Amendment & the 11th Circuit?

Get off the Muslim thing and think about this again. How would you feel about some other religion putting a massive symbol of their religion in the lobby of your courthouse?

I can't that you'd approve, especially considering the language of the First Amendment.
