In the heart of Jesusistan, this is no surprise at all. Utah was founded as a theocracy, and the Federal Government has never really tried to make them conform to the Constitution.
JollyRoger, true. But since it was the SCOTUS that handed down that decision, it's a departure from where we once stood. And not a good one - slippery slope and all that.
The entire decision isn't horrible, but there are too many loopholes this leaves - and the 10 commandments plaque needs to go. They're ruling on a 8-ft cross in a public park next term.

But yeah, Alito's pretty damn weak.
