Caruso, while no longer a member of the Planning Commission, has not totally ruled out future political involvement. Most distressing, Caruso said, was the response of local civil liberties officials when he complained the statue might violate the United States Constitution's Establishment Clause. Because there is no current "Church of Quetzalcoatl," he was informed, the statue, though portraying a religious figure, is not promoting an active religion and therefore would likely be found legal. San Jose City Attorney Joan Gallo has made the same claim for when the school children "pay tribute" to the statue, as Vice Mayor Alvarado describes it.
