"What am I supposed to tolerate? A small encroachment on my First Amendment rights? Well, I'm not going to."
Nice.

Aww, the ACLU waxing nostalgic about it's glory days.
If only the ACLU would put 1/10th of it's efforts that it expends on religion towards current issues like torture, illegal search and seizure, no-knock warrants, gun rights (whoops! on that one), property rights (kelo), other First Amendment issues (campaign finance "reform", thought, err-"hate" crimes), I would gladly join.
Don't get me wrong - having an ACLU is better than no ACLU - but the seem to ignore some important ones.

Nice.
Except for the fact that, while freedom of religion is a personal right, the separation of church and state is not, but is rather an institutional arrangement. How the Supreme Court incorporated that as one of the personal "liberties" which, under the 14th amendment, one may not be deprived of without due process of law is a truly astounding bit of judicial legerdemain.
