    1. They want the paving of their playground. Could -- could this -- could they demand as a matter of Federal constitutional right that that playground be funded, even though they have an -- an admissions policy that favors members of their church?

      Ginsburg strong question that attempts to get Cortman to answer the question on whether the playground should be funded despite the admissions policy favors members of its church leads me to believe that she is not in favor of Cortmans notion that churches should be able to admit who they wish while recieving federal funding. I believe Ginsburg was one of the justices to vote against the church.

    2. Well, how about if the school does a prayer before the children start playing?

      I believe Sotomayor is asking a question here that directly is against Cortmans advocation that not every thing that happens at a school is religious. Sotomayor is attempting to imply that religious schools often participate in religious acts and that how will the state know or how can it control such things on the basis of belief and viewpoints.

    1. I believe Sotomayor is the other dissenter. She makes it clear that she doesnt see a difference between the church and the other structures on church property. Her mind seems made up.

    2. Going out on a limb to say that RBG is one of the dissenters. She may be playing devils advocate here early in the proceeding, but she jumped in before contrary opinions were able to be established. i think she did that for a reason.
