That simply no matter how much the US tries to separate law and morality,(religion) some of what these types of decisions are based on what our moral standards are.
That is just my personal belief.
Think...what is law based on anyway? To some degree, laws are based on whatever the moral code of that time just so happens to be.
When you think about it, 30 or 40 years ago, there simply would not have been a case, they would have been expelled and that would have been the end of it.
100 to 200 years ago, they may have been killed and it would have been justified.
I sometimes think that it's almost impossible to not be biased one way or another on legal issues where morality, religion, and people's perceived rights cross paths.
