Oh the Bill of Rights? Technically he's wrong then. =)
The absolutist view of the Constitution would follow "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" to a T. NO law whatsoever.
Unfortunately, to my knowledge only Scalia and.. some other one, one of the lesser famous ones considers themselves to be absolutist.
I think the SC would agree with Tom, unfortunately. And historically, there have been *many* laws dealing with religion, religious practice, and display.
[Not that I think it's right. I don't. Just sayin'.]
