The New York Times >[NYTimes OpEd] If Bush is re-elected, he will probably have 3-4 Supreme Court appointments to make. It's entirely reasonable that he'll appoint justicies like the two he has said he admires the most: Scalia and Clarence Thomas, giving their views a majority. Cohen reviews some of their written (minority) opinions and considers the ramifications if those become majority opinions.
My favorite, unexpected one: maybe the separation of church and state only applies at the federal level, and states are unencumbered by proscription against establishment. So, states can pick a religion, back it, give money to it, merge with a religion.
