It was not a cavalier fashion at all, nor was I treating children in any manner. I was treating the argument that an injustice had been done to children if they can't find a popular doll from a particular company that "looks like them", in a relatively serious manner.

If we accept that argument then for example far children are the victims of a grave injustice from Mattel. And apparently if it was the government rather then Mattel it would bring up constitutional questions. I don't buy any of that.

Lemon is an interpretation of the constitution, by the Supreme Court, as such it is a very important interpretation of the constitution and is BINDING.

Its binding in that it will be enforced as if it where part of the constitution, but it is in fact not part of the constitution or even directly based on the words of the constitution.
