71. I don't disagree with that decision
I just think that in a Democracy, it should have been made by a majority of the voters, rather than by a majority of nine old men. When the decision was made, 150 years (or 300 years, if you count pre-revolutionary time), said it WAS Constitutional. Unless the Constitution has been amended, SCOTUS is supposed to decide things based on precedent. They didn't and I call bullsh*t on that, even if it is a decision I agree with.

And there's alot of statements being put in my mouth there. Can you quote me on that, or is that just your impression? I would say that the atheist kid or parent who cannot tolerate the rest of the class praying is intolerant. Peer pressure enforcing conformity is something I have fought against almost all my life (mostly by marching to the beat of my own drummer (I generally prefer Rick Allen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Allen_%28drummer%29))
