So since you're so keen on the thoughts of the Founders, what is your opinion on Madison's Memorial and Remonstrance? I've heard Madison had something to do with the drafting of the constitution, but I'm not sure...

Of more interest might be Madisons presenting of and getting passed "A Bill for Punishing . . . Sabbath Breakers".

Contain your excitement. I know you're eager to get back to some proper blue laws, but you're wetting the floor like a trembling puppy.

Hee, hee. Good thing he didn't put that stuff in marble. Now THAT's a completely different matter.

I can't speak to this intelligently, since I know nothing about what you speak, but if it is true, I would say he is a hypocrite, as all of us are at some point or the other.

But again I take from Memorial and Remonstrance:

5. Because the Bill implies either that the Civil Magistrate is a competent Judge of Religious Truth; or that he may employ Religion as an engine of Civil policy. The first is an arrogant pretension falsified by the contradictory opinions of Rulers in all ages, and throughout the world: the second an unhallowed perversion of the means of salvation.
