The Supreme Court, IMHO, for decades was intent on secularizing the United States to conform it to the "progressive" ideological and even perhaps judicial model of the European countries. This is of course contrary to the Constitution - and is particularly evident in their prior - and woefully confusing - interpretations of the First Amendment.
The Lemon precedent uses a "secular" test. That is not a Constitution-based test - it is bad law and needs to be fixed.
The Constitution must never again be treated as an etch a sketch by the Supremes.
From your lips to God's ear, Alamo-Girl!
Sadly, we can’t count on this not happening again. Assuming Alito’s confirmation, and assuming that both Roberts and Alito are, in fact, exactly what we expect, The Supreme Court remains anything but Conservative. At best, the count is 4 - 1 - 4, with Kennedy being the swing vote. Kennedy, who listens far more to the DC cocktail circuit than he does The Constitution, is about as reliable as a Yugo. We might as well assume a 5 - 4 count against us.
