Mark Levin in his book Men in Black says,
"By the standard activist judges use today, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point displaying the Declaration of Independence on public property is challenged. After all, the Declaration speaks of 'Laws of Nature and of Nature's God: and that 'all men...are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.' It declares that the founders are 'appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world' and relying 'on the protection of divine Providence.' Rabbis, ministers, and priests at public high school graduation ceremonies can be legally barred from saying as much."

If I thought there was any hope that people today would get the satire, I'd say that we should start the challenge ourselves and see if we could make other see how foolish this whole thing can be. Of course, with my luck, nobody'd get the joke.
Of course, I understand a bit where these judges are coming from. The accepted standard of interpretation of the Constitution and the law was the worldview current at the time of the Founders. Unfortunately, the accepted standard has changed to today's worldview--which has no problem with making sure that the only truth that is allowed is that which is not intolerant.
