That the Supreme Court ruled it constitutional is not evidence that it is in
fact constitutional.  Remember, the Supreme Court ruled that a state-sponsored
public religious display (in, I believe Rhode Island) was not unconstitutional,
yet any idiot can see that it violates the establishment clause.

If the Supreme Court decides tomorrow that 1 = 2, are you ready to believe
it?!
