RECENTLY IN THE COURTS
AUGUST 19, 2005

U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kaufman v. McCaughtry (08/19/05 - No. 04-1914)
Dismissal of plaintiff's Establishment Clause claim, alleging that
defendants infringed on his right to practice his religion when they
refused to allow him to create an inmate study group to discuss atheism, is
vacated where defendants' actions do not have a secular purpose.

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,
256 U.S. 345, 349, 41 S.Ct. 506, 507, 65 L.Ed. 963 (1921) (Holmes, J.).
