I wonder if Supreme Court justices ever feel embarrassed, like when a ruling they made turns out to be shaky or ends up making them look like fools. Take the case of the Bremerton praying coach. Ex-assistant Bremerton High football coach Joe Kennedy is back to his ex status once again, having quit his job after just one game despite being reinstated to it by order of the Supreme Court itself. The case was never really about Bremerton, or the Knights football team or students. It was about a national conservative legal campaign to push more religious doctrine into the public sphere.
