emanations from penumbras

The prohibition on the government against enacting anything "respecting an establishment of religion" is explicit. You may argue about how and when it ought apply, but that argument has not a thing to do with penumbras or their emanations.

The hell it doesn't. The term "seperation of church and state" emanated from a letter sent by a sitting President to a Danbury Baptist minister. The penumbral effect of that emanation is well documented. But thanks for the advice, the advice bin was a little low.
