SCOTUS Sums Up This Entire Administration

SCOTUS struck another blow to the separation of Church and State, finding, in the case of Hein vs. Freedom From Religion Foundation, that taxpayers lack standing to challenge expenditures and activities of President Bush's Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives. The court ruled 5-4 (Roberts, Alito, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas) with the Majority Opinion being written by Justice Alito.

It's not surprising, but it's certainly disappointing. In the dissenting opinion, Justice Souter wrote (I assume) without irony

I see no basis for this distinction in either logic or precedent....

Ironically, this can be said for 99.75% of all decisions made by this mad administration.
