hat tip volokh.
Appropriately, these two cases are likely to be resolved in accordance with I Kings 3:16-28. ("And [O'Connor] said: 'Fetch me a sword.' And they brought a sword before [O'Connor]. And [O'Connor] said: 'Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.'").
i'm depressed these days, but not so much so that i can't laugh out loud now and then.
a guy i know, ken falk, has done 12 of these 10 commandment suits, so am viewing the case with interest.
come to think of it, i also know the plaintiff in one of ken's suits, a jeff adkins (atkins?) Jeff is a sweetheart, but he gets a might testy. i'm guessing he rubbed some people the wrong way bringing a 10 commandments case in salem indiana.
i'm not aware that they still burn witches, but the first time i went down there, we went past a horse and buggy, onto a a dirt road, through a cornfield, to a log cabin, where the meeting was held. god plays real big down there, and the nuances of keeping god and the state seperate sometimes get lost.
another time jeff and i were both interested in running for vice-chair of the indiana libertarian party, so we settled it in the usual manner: we went to kentucky and arm-wrestled for it, he won.
if the article is correct (and it may have been joking) the questions presented include whether the lemon test should be scrapped; that makes it an even bigger case.
