On June 28, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in a case involving a student-run Christian group at the University of California’s Hastings College of the Law.

The organization, a branch of the Christian Legal Society (CLS), wanted to receive financial support and official recognition from the university even though it excludes gays, atheists and others from membership. The university refused, citing its strict non-discrimination policy.

Backed by the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), the CLS chapter sued.

I was at the Supreme Court when the case was argued, and I remember feeling a little uneasy as I walked out of the building. The high court’s ultra-conservative bloc seemed to leaning toward buying the ADF’s argument.

The attack on Church/State separation is being waged on many fronts. I expect it to increase in the run-up to the 2012 election. I suspect that it will be on these issues that Teabaggers/Republicans find their greatest degree of cooperation, over time.

2. The ultra religious have a problem as I see it

God is not a religion
Jesus Christ is not a religion
Christianity is not a religion
Two sets of Ten Commandments out there
They are going to have to settle on one religion
I do not see that happening
If they do succeed on turning this country into a
religious run country they will never be able to settle on the religion.
They will then start fighting over which Christian religion is going to lead.
