Name one Supreme Court Decision besides Roe v. Wade

Without resorting to Google: Brown v. Board of Education (and if you have to look that one up, shame on you 8)

Google-fu reveals not a single, landmark decision for my topic of choice, but a series, one of which I selected because of the passage below:

( The Colonies WERE founded as Christian Countries...May God Forgive Us... )
from the decision Everson v. Board of Education, 1947

Current Mood: cranky

After reading for weeks about Huckabee and Fred Phelps and equal fanaticism on the other side by people whose names I don't even know, some sane oratory is a real breath of fresh air.

This excerpt from a speech by JFK was posted today on

dark_christian. I like it. The whole thing is at http://www.jfklibrary.org/Historical+Resources/Archives/Reference+Desk/Speeches/JFK/JFK+Pre-Pres/Address+of+Senator+John+F.+Kennedy+to+the+Greater+Houston+Ministerial+Association.htm

( A Defender Of A Faith )

Further down, one of the commenters posted this excerpt from a speech by Barak Obama. (The whole thing is at http://www.barackobama.com/2006/06/28/call_to_renewal_keynote_address.php ) I don't know a lot about Obama's record or his electability. But whether he rises or falls after tomorrow, I think the issues and challenges he raises here are worth keeping in the public discourse:

( Another Defender of Another Faith )

Current Mood: thoughtful

(Cross-posted from

dark_christian, approximately)

( Please NO )

I need to rest my fingers, and then I need to write some emails.

EDIT NUMBER TWO: I just learned that the proper name of this bill is H RES 888, as opposed to HR 888, which was a completely different House bill from earlier this year. God forbid this should be simple 8P

Current Mood: speechless

(Blog Against Theocracy submission)

( Last Chance To Avoid A Religious Essay 8) )

Current Mood: pompous?
