A profoundly and brilliantly presented post, many thanks, it's a great lesson in constitutional history... still, it leaves a lot to interpretation, since the actual first amendment only leaves room for the kinds of interpretations you mention... It should be interesting to see how the U.S. Supreme Court handles this, I think some things become untouchable... it's still open for dispute... do we now have to change our currency? Can we no longer sing God Bless America? And so on... Again, a great post!!! GZ

Bravo! Well written and needed to be said. Hope you copy that to editorial pages around the country.

Thanks for presenting the arguments in the pledge decision in a way that is far clearer than I could. Pity that some people feel that your post about the First Amendment, the Lemon test, the Establishment test, and the Coercion test is considered to be "a lesson in constitutional history" (835) and not a lesson about a living part of American law and society. After re-reading 398, 461, 473, and 492 I went forward to 833 and 834. Ended up shaking my head in astonishment.
