EXACTLY. While you saw it as not reaching the threshhold, justices did because that's how they wanted to rule. If this was some set in stone guideline there wouldn't be conflicting rulings would there?
Sure, different justices will rule differently. I never argued otherwise. But notice the test they used to determine that it was (in their opinion) not a violation of the establishment clause. They used the lemon test. They asked "Is there a secular purpose". They found (again, in there opinion) that there was a secular purpose.
So... we apply that same test here.
18 pages, still no secular purpose for praying for rain.
