President Bush, who has already named two justices to the Supreme Court, has apparantly sneaked two more justice onto the Court while no one was looking. Supreme Court observers are perplexed at how the two new Justices got on to the Court with no one looking.
The story was broken in the September 8 issue of the Indianapolis Star concerning the oral argument in the Seventh Circuit on the issue of the opening prayer in the Indiana General Assembly. In discussing a leading U.S. Supreme Court case, the always-reliable Star reported:
"In Marsh v. Chambers, the U.S. Supreme Court decided 8-3 that prayers may be said as part of the Nebraska Legislature's official actions after references to Christ had been removed."
Yep, that's what they reported. Last time I looked, 8 plus 3 equals 11.
