Subject: Re: No tariff ruling today by SCOTUS
from the net sifter...I find the court's insistence that forcing people to utter a deity is "patriotic" amazing. They seem to be saying that, even though the Constitution prohibits establishment of religion, the US is a theocracy, so forced religious exercise is "patriotic".

I'd be ok with "under Law" or "under Democracy" or just leaving the phrase out entirely.
