i agree with elphaba on this one--by the time the case came to the supremes, it had been narrowed to a question of precedence (federal vs. state law) first and the actual topic and hand a distant second. from that viewpoint, the obvious way out was to punt toward congress.
but nothing good in this direction will originate from congress so long as tha far right has the role that it has. and i am sure the supremes knew this.
