Is there a precedent for SCOTUS making up fake facts on the scale that they did in ['Kennedy']?

12. I could take your word for it

Can't, on a fairly cursory search, find the briefs in the case. Since you clearly have access to briefs, transcripts, or some source as to the school's in-court admissions, I'd be happy to see them. I know: You're not my research team. OTOH, you're making an assertion that's at odds with reporting, so I'd think you'd want to provide your source so as to set the record straight.

This Harvard Law Today piece is more in line with everything I've read about it, except your representations.

Frankly, depending on which version of the facts you believe, it’s an easy case either way. If you accept the district’s description of what’s going on, then I think it is clearly constitutional to prohibit the coach from doing that. There are cases holding that public officials cannot use their office to proselytize. But if you accept the coach’s version of events, then he ought to win, because he is a lone individual who just happens to be a coach and, when he goes to the 50-yard line to pray, he’s doing so simply as a private individual, hoping nobody will notice. Both the district court and the Ninth Circuit accepted the school district’s version of events.

I guess this Levinson fellow is not as well versed in the details of the case as you are.

Go figure.
