These and other, similar rulings assume the Constitution stands itself on its own ear.

What I mean by that is that the court, by enforcing the establishment clause, simultaneously allows the free exercise clause to be violated. It justifies this schizophrenia based on the fact that so-called public schools receive large amounts of federal money (but perhaps the amount isn't the issue.)

Therefore, because the 1st Amendment forbids Congress from passing any laws that violate EITHER the establishment clause or the free exercise clause, then the laws that fund the public schools out of the federal treasury are the Congress-passed laws that violate the Constitution.

Those laws are what need to be declared null and void, not the acts of the Boy Scouts and little girls who take their Bibles to school.

anyone who thinks there isn't a leftist agenda to destroy a God-centered america is incapable of perceiving reality. the liberal judiciary is their weapon to accomplish this.
