Where in the constitution is the so called principle of "separation of church and state specfically enunciated."
The 6th Circuit just stated that there is no such thing as a constitutional "separation of church and state". Will we give as much deference to the opinion of the 6th Circuit as you give to this judge?
Word-lawyering aside, the principle is established in the 1st amendment, combined with the post-civil war amendments which pushed rights established in the bill of rights down on local governments. You may not like this, but pretending it doesn't exist is a pretty thin defense. If you look at their 30 years of correspondance, and their contributions to the argument, there can be no ambiguity about what the designers of the 1st amendment, Madison and Jefferson intended: a clear and ubiquitous separation of church and state.
