Fourth of July festivities are over but fireworks continue over the separation of church and state. Recent Supreme Court rulings on the Ten Commandments, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's announced retirement, and the search for her replacement put this hot-button issue back on the front burner.

New York University Law professor and Islamic scholar Noah Feldman puts forth a bold new plan he thinks will achieve a church-state solution all Americans can live with, in harmony.

Hear about Feldman's new grand bargain for religion in America.
