They should only be suited to be strict constructionist, they are stewards of the courts and the laws, thats why the people elect officials to make laws. Since judges aren't culpable to the people, I have serious qualms with them using words from Jefferson that are not legal, nor binding, nor in favor of this type of "separation of church and state" as dogmatic law of the land that is clearly pushing an agenda, this can easily be tracked by the explosion of these cases in the last 10 years.
"Should be" seem to me to be completely irrelevant to the arguement before us. We're talking about the way it is, not the way that you wish is would be.

And Infinite_Loser, I'll be that if you ask people what religion a Christmas tree is a symbol of, they'll almost unanimously say Christianity. There will be a few smart folks like here that know and remember its pagan beginnings, but in the 21st Century, I think it's safe to say that it's been completely co-opted by Christianity. Just like the word "gay" has changed meanings, so has a decorated indoor tree.
