The "Lemon Law" clearly isn't "neutral".

Standardized tests are O.K., but teacher-prepared tests are not. Government can provide parochial schools with books but not maps, provoking Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan's [D - NY] quip: "What about atlases?" The Court has invoked Lemon to strike down a nativity scene surrounded by poinsettias and to uphold a nativity scene surrounded by elephants, teddy bears, Santa's workshop and a talking wishing well. This is the Court's idea of equal time for atheists; practitioners call it the "three plastic animals" rule.</i><br /><br />The article is entitled "Lemon Law".<br /><br />The rule is absurd on its face.<br /><br />Vis-a vis Ilion's comment:<br />To a large extent that's already been done by our Konstitutional Perfesser Presidente and Queso Grande de Todo El Mundo, Bimbeaux McLightworker, who said that the Constitution is a "deeply flawed" document. As I noted yesterday, Bimbeaux and his fellow Proglodytes hate America, and, by logical extension, America's guiding principles.<br /><br />But trust the Progs... they have a better idea. If they could just get websites, computers, the economy, misunderstanderers of The Religion of Peace®, and the weather to cooperate!Commissar Boggs, Ministry of Truthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555199390227912207.post-80129191171659539302014-06-27T08:06:09.427-04:002014-06-27T08:06:09.427-04:00"According to the Lemon Test, the First Amend..."<i>According to the Lemon Test, the First Amendment is unconstitutional.</i>"<br /><br />Not to worry: any day now, some so-called judge is going to declare the entire US Constitution to be "unconstitutional".Ilíonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339406092961816142noreply@blogger.com
