A Minor Mea Culpa on the O'Connor Statistics

Marty Lederman has pointed out two errors in my posting yeterday detailing the Religion Clause opinions that Justice O'Connor wrote. Due to a data base glitch I did not catch, I failed to include Agostini v. Felton in which she also wrote a majority opinion. Second, in Westside Community Bd. of Edu. v. Mergens, while she wrote the opinion for the Court, it was a majority opinion only as to the statutory issue, and was a plurality opinoin on the 1st Amendment issue. Yesterday's posting was updated and corrected this evening.
