On Wednesday, the Supreme Court hears the case of
McCreary County v. ACLU, a case about the Ten Commandments posted in a county courthouse. While the focus is on the outcome of the case, the real action is occurring in slow motion (for now).
In the next few years, President Bush is expected to be able to nominate as many as three new justices of the Supreme Court.
The result could be that Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia move away from the fringe of the court’s reasoning, to the center of it. In time, they could become the voice of the court, particularly when it comes to Establishment Clause cases like McCreary.
Take a peek into the future. Here’s the link to it:
