Spiff - tell us all about your theory. If the Utah Legislature decides to establish Mormonism as the state religion, and the SCOTUS says it is unconstitutional, why don't you explain to us all how the Utah Supreme Court can overrule the SCOTUS. That is exactly what you are saying.

That is exactly what you are saying. When the Constitution was ratified there was at least one state with an official religion. The SCOTUS would be wrong if they said that a state could not have a state religion just as they were wrong when they said Dred Scot was only property and that the imagined right to privacy in the Constitution prevented states from enacting laws against murdering babies.
What part of "Congress shall make no law..." do you and your hypothetical SCOTUS not understand?
And why do you imagine that our nation's form of government is a judgeocracy or some crap like that and not a Constitutional Republic of several sovereign States? Where did you learn otherwise?
