It's not yet 8 a.m. on Monday morning, and John McCain is marching through the living room of his house in Phoenix, Ariz., headed for the back bedrooms, leading a reporter who is asking about the New Hampshire primary on a tour of his children's pet collection.

The plaintiff parents claim their children's religious freedom is violated by the state's refusal to help pay for religious schooling; last June, Vermont's Supreme Court ruled that funding such schooling would violate the state's constitutional commitment to the separation of church and state...
