For Now, No To "Public" Religious Charter Schools Getting Primarily Direct Federal Funding... Supremes Deadlocked 4-4; Barrett Recused. Roberts Likely Voted It Violated Constitution.

It is a near certainty that the three: KBJ, the Wise Latina and Justice Kagan voted it violated Amendment 1. That's three. But the vote was a four-four tie, so we would best guess it was Chief Justice Roberts that sank the Oklahoma attempt.

Here's a bit of it; I agree with the Okalhoma Supreme Court: church and state should remain separate:

. . .The one-page decision did not say how each justice voted. During oral arguments last month, most of the court's conservatives indicated support for the school while liberals expressed concern. At least one conservative is likely to have sided with the liberals, most likely Chief Justice John Roberts.

The court will likely be asked to weigh in on the issue in future cases. . . .

[It is likely that Justice Barrett recused due to her close affiliation with Notre Dame Law School -- its clinic was counsel to the church here.] Onward -- good news, for now -- at least.
