  The Supreme Court this morning decided the Hein case, holding 5-4 that taxpayers lack standing to challenge expenditures and activities of Pres. Bush's Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives.  The majority did not overrule Flast-- though 2 justices wanted to.  Details and excerpts are on Religion Clause blog
