[size=10pt][b]In 2000 in a 6-3 vote the US Supreme Court in Santa Fe (TX) Independent School District v. Jane Doe [/b][/size]ruled that a policy "allowing" student led prayer over the PA system violates the Constitution.

I don't know. It was a 6-3 vote so you would need to swing two votes.

The majority vote in 2000 was Stevens, O'Connor, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsburg and Breyer. The dissent was Rehnquist, Scalia and Thomas.

Of the dissent, Thomas and Scalia are still there and Roberts replaced Rehnquist so no change in those votes.

O'Connor was replaced by Alito so that is likely a changed vote in favor of the dissent.

Still on the court from the 2000 ruling are Kennedy, Ginsburg and Breyer. That is three votes. Of the ones that retired, Stevens was replaced by Kagan so no change and Souter was replaced by Sotomayor so no change there either.

That leaves it at a 5-4 instead of a 6-3 vote but with the same outcome but a closer margin.

I'm surprised that it has gone on this long without being locked down. If you don't like what's being stated, nobody is forcing you to read.
Personally, even though I don't agree with all postings, I've gotten alot of insight from them. It's good to step out of our comfort zone from time to time.

GO PIRATES!

Wow, what started off as a compliment sure turned ugly fast! Perhaps it's time to lock and/or move this topic.  :-\

It'll fizzle out soon. Friday's almost here. I'm beginning to here the fizzle already.

Thanks for the kind words CanineDog. I'm sure that you didn't intend for it to go in this direction.
