| Summary: | It has become commonplace to describe the Supreme Court's Establishment Clause jurisprudence as messy, inconsistent, or even unprincipled. Or, as Chief Justice Rehnquist gently put it, “Our cases, Januslike, point in two directions in applying the Establishment Clause” (Van Orden v. Perry, 2005). Mark P.
