No less authority than the likely next Chief Justice Mr. Scalia has clearly stated that the religion clause in the Constitution does not apply to religions outside of what the founding fathers would have reasonably considered a religion. Judaism, Xianity and Islam are OK. The rest of you people would not have "real" religions, per decision of the government.

None of this, in his mind, contravense the Constitution.

And there are people who think that this man is not mad. I'd rather see Chief Justice SpongeBob Square Pants, presiding over Justices Ed, Edd and Eddy.

Anyone who can enunciate the above with a straight face is either a sociopath, or is unfit to manage his own affairs, much less mine.

If you want the original quote, I'll have to dredge it out of outlook at home. It was from something I saw on Alterman's MSNBC Blog from one of his correspondents.
