This particular case mat not be overtuned, but cases like it will. The free excercise of religion extends to the secular realm. There is no constitional prerogative to make legal rulings against the teaching that organized matter may be best explained in theory by a higher intelligence. The only reason you think the Dover ruling is "proper" is because it agrees with your opinion. It does not agree with the Constitution.
We'll see. Anything's possible. Before the Ayatollah Khomeini came to power, Iran wasn't a theocracy; so a country transforming itself into one isn't without precedent. I have bigger hopes for the USA, though...

This isn't a free exercise case; it's an establishment case.

Still sticking with the "gay jeans" argument, eh?

No. I know it's proper because I have legal training and experience, have studied Constitutional law, understand the issue, and understand the place and effect of precedent.
