"The very function of Constitution and court is to put individual liberties beyond the reach of both congressional majorities and popular clamor" --- -- "A suppression of minority rights by the majorities of the moment is precisely what the Constitution is meant to limit."

That is entirely correct, except that state nonestablishment of religion is not an individual liberty that the Constitution was meant to protect.

Establishment of a religion by a State violates no one's rights and impairs no one's liberties.

Congress cannot establish a national religion-that's all.
