...the panel called the American Civil Liberties Union’s repeated claims to the contrary “extra-constitutional” and “tiresome.”

LOL! Finally, judges who can read (and not read into) plain English.

inally, judges who can read (and not read into) plain English.

Unbelievable decision in this day and age, but totally correct.

How can anyone find grounds in the simple phrase "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" to outlaw a copy of the Ten Commandments in a courtroom or a manger scene on public property? Only the U.S Congress could ever violate the establishment clause of the 1st Amendment, and then only by establishing an official state church or religion. The Constitution isn't worth the parchment it's written on if the Judiciary can simply read into it anything that it happens to think is good for us.

Religion is wholly exempt from Civil Society's cognizance.
