The First Amendment "establishment clause" merely states that there is to be no Church of the United States endorsed by the Federal Government; no religion established by congress. Kids praying at a football game is NOT an establishment of a religion by congress.

To assert that a phrase used one time in private correspondence should determine our national policy is stretching it.

Well, since the SCOTUS has deemed it perfectly proper to cite the private correspondence of a POTUS to a Baptist minister in Danbury, CT as legal precedent, there is a simple solution to the matter.

President Bush can simply write a letter to a current Baptist minister in Danbury, Ct letting him know that displaying the Ten Commandments, praying before football games, voluntary rectitation of the Pledge with the words "under God" and voluntary prayer in public institutions are indeed Constitutional.

Voila!
