Actually, 1874. I forgot the exact case name, but it was the first to make reference to Jefferson's quote. . .

Thanks. I'll look around and see if I can find it. As you know, Hugo Black's decision was one of the biggies which started the hit parade. SCOTUS has made some very odd decisions regarding religion. There was one which upheld a congressional law seizing Mormon property. Those who like the courts messing with religion should be very afraid of where it can lead.

But they aren't. They can't see past their own prejudices. They cannot see giving such power to the courts can and undoubtedly will, someday, come back to bite them.

That's putting it mildly. They've contridicted themselves so many times, it's ridiculous. Look at the 1995 decision on Rosenburg vs. UVA, compare it to the 2000 decision in Sante Fe, and tell me what the difference is. Nothing, except one deals with college and the other deals with high school. Apparantly, the USSC thinks certain religious expression in college is protected that is not so in high school. Where in the constitution do they come up with that?
