OK, this is what I don't understand. The SCOTUS refuses to take the appeal

Its my understanding they just refused to put a stay on the order to remove. They have not yet said one way or the other if they will take appeal.

I believe you are correct.

I think you're right about this. I recall someone (on Fox, of course) saying that the issue could, potentially, get to the Supreme Court of the US. But as someone suggested earlier, is it really a good idea to take this particular case to the court with its current makeup? All I know is that the "establishment of religion" clause has been perverted over the past 40 years. It prevented Congress from creating the "Church of the United States" back in the early days, but it didn't prohibit public support of the Church of Massachusetts.
