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!

Good idea.

Ping W ...and W the elder while you're at it.

We could go for a two-fer....precedent being what it is and all.

Come to think of it since Comrade Ginsburg has decided to let foreign precedent weigh in as well now on determining SCOTUS policy, why not let's ping Berscolinni(sic) or maybe even Blair while we're at it...they'd probably be good for a short note or two.
