OK, quadratic equations:
A quadratic equation with real or complex coefficients has two solutions, called roots. These two solutions may or may not be distinct, and they may or may not be real.
A lawsuit based on the Establishment Clause and prayer in school has two solutions, called roots, based on freedom of speech and perceived discrimination. These two solutions may or may not be distinct, and they may or may not be real.
In a quadratic equation, the "discriminant" is usually represented by the Greek symbol Delta, which is also in mathematics used to represent "difference in."
In an Establishment Clause lawsuit, the difference in which solution is applied (Delta) should be whether the establishment is being "discriminant" (I know, I know) in its practices by endorsing one religious point of view over others.
How's that for correlation?
