"But I don't know what the court can really do about that - either this type of representation violates the separation of church and state, or it doesn't (as ruled)."

I know what they can do; pretend that the case before them concerned students who were forced to learn Catholic Church prayers in traditional Latin form; they'd have shot it down like clay pigeon. THE SCOTUS seats a bench full of one-dimensional bone heads, including the two middle-of-the-road moderates that Bush put there.

Alito and Roberts are not moderates. the current court has only one moderate - Kennedy.
