SCOTUSblog’s Lyle Denniston thinks that two of today’s Ten Commandment-related Supreme Court rulings, in his words, “could serve as an implied endorsement of such displays – in the right context.” In some ways, the outcome Monday for other government sites resembles the Court’s approach to the Christian nativity scene on government property: the religious nature of the manger scene can be neutralized, and thus made constitutionally accepted, if it is

Spent the morning doing light surveillance on a neighborhood couple whom I believe would, if properly instigated, burn the American Flag.  I base this suspicion on a number of factors, including a fanatical fidelity to recycling, and the Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker still adorning their red Saturn.  Plus, the guy wears sandals in the evening and on weekends.

Turns out that far-left groups in western Europe are carrying on a campaign dubbed Ten Euros for the Resistance, offering aid and comfort to the car bombers, kidnappers, and snipers trying to destabilize the fledgling Iraq government.

Postmodern Chicken Little: “Well, while I wouldn’t say the sky is falling, exactly—it is, after all, that very kind of dangerous literalism that has historically devolved into pernicious, anti-communitarian fundamentalist ideologies of all stripes—I am nevertheless prepared to buy myself a big ass gun, and to stock my bomb shelter with lots of canned corn…” **** update:  “Anybody know of a militia that accepts postmodern chickens?”

Regarding yesterday’s stunningly anti-Constitutional, pro-government SCOTUS ruling expanding the scope of eminent domain, The New York Times editorializes: The Supreme Court’s ruling yesterday that the economically troubled city of New London, Conn., can use its power of eminent domain to spur development was a welcome vindication of cities’ ability to act in the public interest.
