You are right. The now Chief Justice nailed it.
Simply put, the Supreme Court needs an enema.
There is way too much unconstitutional crap in its caselaw, this being only one of the areas it has completely distorted.

North Carolina flatly refused to ratify the Constitution in the absence of amendments in the nature of a Bill of Rights. Virginia and North Carolina proposed identical guarantees of religious freedom:
"[A]ll men have an equal, natural and unalienable right to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience, and . .
. no particular religious sect or society ought to be favored or established, by law, in preference to others.
-from the dissent-
The lines above totally destroy William Rehnquist's contention that "Separation of Church and State" was an unwanted 'myth'.

Thanks so much for expanding the link. Yes, this needed to be posted.
Used to be it was all about politics. Now, it's all about judges.
Actually, it's about frustration. If you're a RAT and you're trying to get some legislation passed and the right is fighting you tooth and nail, it's a lot easier to just find a friendly judge to rule (read, make law) in your favor.
This trend started some time ago. The SCUMBAG's use of Executive Order to make law just encouraged the trend ("Stroke of the pen, law of the land, kinda cool").
Today, the RAT's battle cry is "Why legislate when we can just adjudicate." Sad...
Now, we're on the edge of the judiciary taking over. Obviously, we can't let this happen. We need to resist, protest, make loud noises and, most of all, elect conservatives who will appoint and approve conservative judges.
IMHO, this is the most critical issue facing this country right now. Unfortunately, the average guy on the street doesn't have a clue.
