What you lack in knowledge you make up in your condescension. In my stupid school, they did have a civics class but either the teacher was too stupid or I wasn't paying attention, but I was told that the courts do not make laws. That cannot be true because you claim otherwise. I was also taught that the 1st Amendment prohibited the federal govt cannot prohibit the free exercise of religion. But my school was too stupid to furnish the actual Constitution, so they must have made that up. Furthermore, I was taught that the 14th Amendment was about equal protection and no one even claimed that this was a violation of equal protection. But what do I know, I didn't attend the meeting for party tools and specialize in becoming someone else's parrot.

They didn't teach about Roe V Wade?

Well, maybe that was true in the old days but today the government says you can't pray in schools, can't own guns in many places, and you can't keep the money you earned...hell even political speech isn't permited for some if it's close to election day(CFR)

We live in 2 different worlds. You live in a world where you are the judge of what the Constitution means. I live in a world where the government and the people who elected the government say what the Constitution means. Your version of what the Constitution says might closer to what the Founding Fathers believed, but they're all dead and can't back you up.

Furthermore, I was taught that the 14th Amendment was about equal protection and no one even claimed that this was a violation of equal protection.

In fact you don't know what you're talking about. One of the main points of the court order was that people who were arrested but not followers of Moses, Jesus, or Mohamed would be intimidated by the monument. It was the main basis of the claim. I don't expect you to undestand that, but fortunately it doesn't matter.

But what do I know, I didn't attend the meeting for party tools and specialize in becoming someone else's parrot.

I don't know everything. I rely on the judgement of others I trust sometimes. Sometimes I look to the judgement of others who I don't trust to make my judgement. What ever they say, I disagree.
You sound a lot like a rat. The rats are my enemy. I disagree with them. I disagree with you.
