"It was Scotus that banned God, Bible and Ten Commandments from the public square."

Reminder: Engel v. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421 (1062). Description at Wikipedia:

"the Court ruled that it is unconstitutional for state officials to compose an official school prayer and encourage its recitation in public schools, due to violation of the First Amendment"

That "rule" has been expanded by "progressives" to mean: Nobody better be seen with a Bible anywhere near an abortion clinic.

And "Congress" in "shall make no law" has been expanded to include a kid in high school, saying a prayer in their local football stadium . . . June 19, 2000: "Court disallows prayer at high school football games" (related).

The leftist proclamation of "the separation of church and state" means (among the leftists): the cancelation of Christ until a "new age 'Bible'" narrative is fleshed out to say that Jesus has no objection to abortion, homosexual behavior and transvestite depravations.

Well, the expansions are from Scotus, are they?

The 1st Amendment starts off with “Congress shall make no law . . . “

It is a Scotus fabrication, beginning in the 1920s, that the 14th Amendment incorporated the Bill of Rights as cudgels against the states.
