Well, yes, sadly, it is.

Apparently these states don't think Scopes applies any more, and what's 
more, we've got 4 judges on SCOTUS that seem more than happy to disregard 
earlier verdicts, and are rather pleased with themselves that there is no 
appeal - and that they ultimately have the final say.

It's a sick perversion of what SCOTUS was supposed to be, IMHO.
