The Sour Specter of the First Amendment

“Like some ghoul in a late-night horror movie that repeatedly sits up in its grave and shuffles abroad after being repeatedly killed and buried, Lemon stalks our Establishment Clause jurisprudence once again, frightening the little children and school attorneys of Center Moriches Union Free School District.”

– Justice Antonin Scalia
Concurring Opinion
Lamb’s Chapel v. Center Moriches School District

As my senior project in high school, I researched the landmark Supreme Court case Lemon v. Kurtzman.

My final paper is available here, as well as the presentation I gave to my senior English class.

About

Andrew R Phillips is not a Microsoft Researcher, a First Basemen for the New York Yankees, a professor at the University of Colorado or the University of Wisconsin, or a Member of the House of Lords.

He is, however, a student at UNC Chapel Hill, a writer and occasional blogger, a news/political junkie, an armchair theologian, and a wanna-be technophile.

In the rare event that you would want to know more about Andrew, you can read his bio, check out his FAQ, friend him on Book of Faces, or send him a nice email.
