WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Constitution allows public money to underwrite tuition at religious schools as long as parents have a choice among a range of religious and secular schools, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

The 5-4 ruling led by the court's conservative majority lowers the figurative wall separating church and state and clears a constitutional cloud from school vouchers, a divisive education idea dear to political conservatives and championed by President Bush.

Opponents call vouchers a fraud meant to siphon tax money from struggling public schools.

YES!!!!!

Yes is right. Good news warms the heart, and God knows we need some heart warming around here.

Every time state control is taken away or government shrinks, it's like having a big rock removed from our asses. Great news.......most excellent great news.

I wonder how much yesterday's ruling on the Pledge affected today's ruling on vouchers....

Thank GOD
Let the Supreme Court Know what you really think Click

Is it still OK for vouchers to be used at private schools if they say the Pledge at those schools?

Yesterday's decision on the pledge had zero to do with today's decision, which was made weeks ago by the court.

Obviously.

The 5-4 ruling [by] the Supreme Court

proved that 4 votes can be gleaned on the SCotUS for just about anything.

As opposed to the government schools, which are a fraud meant to siphon money from struggling taxpayers.

That said, I've always thought that what the government funds, they will eventually control. As much as I like to see the liberals have a cow, I'm not a voucher supporter for that reason.

Well, if you want more rulings like this, we need to get Leahy OUT as Senate Judiciary chair so Bush's nominees can sail through. Here in VA, Warner's safe (although I've not forgiven him for stabbing Ollie North in the back), so I might ship in a small contriubtion where it can knock off a Rat or two.

Any ideas?

Good for the Supremes (at least good for 5 of them!). This is the right decision.

Nice bit of editorializing isn't it? What a bunch of idiots. These people call themselves journalists; what they are in fact is a bunch of inept morons. Products of the socialist public school system (as am I), which is killing this once great nation. Hopefully this decision will go a long way toward saving it.

Wonderful. And perfect timing, too. With the ACLU, NEA, and GLSEN hell-bent on imposing their government-subsidized, atheistic, amoral, pro-perversion, anti-pledge, anti-education agenda on a captive audience, this decision not only provides an escape but levels the playing field.

[Dog Gone]

We MUST keep the US Supreme Court in conservative hands. There is no higher priority for us.

[Kay Soze]

Great News! In a dark world. A little control back form the all encompassing Big Govenrment.

HA! Eat that Union liberal NEA members.

Go study the CBEST so you can pass it on your fourth or fifth attempt!

[ShadowAce]

OK--I didn't know when the actual ruling was made. I'm not much on Court procedure.

Yep.

[Khepera]

Where do I get my voucher for my homeschool?

That's not a biased report, is it? (/sarcasm)

Good grief! I only read the headline and then started reading comments. Your comment sent me back to finish reading the "article". You are so right - this article could be used as an exhibit for Ann Coulter's book, Slander.
