This entire controversy is living proof of why the judiciary is and should be a separate branch of government. It doesn't mean they never get bullied and intimidated by the executive and legislative branches into caving, as I believe they likely will in this instance.

The ACLU has come out strongly in support of this ruling, as they should. I hope it stands. The ruling which has me much more concerned though, is the school vouchers ruling. It is just going to lead to more chaos in the public education system, not better outcomes for individual students.
