but would add in a personal observation that he seems to be one smug anti-intellectual asshole.

By posting this sign? I'm not sure. Does this sign constitute making a law "respecting an establishment of religion."

I would consider it dicey, at least. I guess technically it might not be unconstitutional, but it is rather impolite.
Frankly, I think the whole thing has a rather silly "War on Christmas" vibe to it and smacks of more RW, Christian-"we're being persecuted"-whining.
