The upcoming inauguration of President Clinton in Jan 1996 will be presided over by a Justice of the Supreme Court and yet will include religious elements that the Court would prohibit in other public contexts. The Court's interpretation of the establishment clause of the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution has not maintained government neutrality toward religion. Such neutrality is impossible to achieve because of the historical association of the US with Christian civilization. The Court's judgements on public religious expression need to take into account this historical background.
