The most radical Court I think we have ever had. I wouldn't be surprised to see Dred Scott resurrected.

Merger of Church and State Faces No Regulatory Hurdles, Experts Say

WASHINGTON - The merger of church and state decreed by the Supreme Court on Monday could be completed by the end of the year and faces few if any regulatory hurdles, experts familiar with the merger said today. While combining church and state into one entity may result in some job losses due to redundancy, advocates of the merger said that being able to go to one place to receive both governmental and religious services will offer tremendous convenience to the consumer. "Keeping church and state separate never made any sense at all," said former Senator Rick Santorum, a proponent of the Court's decision to merge the two. "By the end of the year, you'll be able to go to the post office and renew your passport, confess your sins, and get a transvaginal ultrasound. It's all good."

12. Thanks so much..

Does this seem like satire to anyone else? Doesn't to me...

“The separation of church and state has been a cornerstone of American democracy for over two hundred years,” said Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority. “Getting rid of it was long overdue.”

Calling the decision “historic,” Justice Antonin Scalia was guarded in predicting what the Court might accomplish next.

“Last year, we gutted the Voting Rights Act, and today we did the First Amendment,” he said. “We’ll just have to see what’s left.”

I think that just about describes what was said and done in a nutshell...
