If Justice Black undercut the true meaning of the religion clauses then why don’t you tell me in a sentence or two just what the clauses do mean and why?

His own biographer made that statement, and Mark Levin agrees. Black's statement, "The First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state. That wall must be kept high and impregnable. We could not approve the slightest breach", was a lie in the manner he intended it, because his intent was strip the states of its power over religion, which was a usurpation of power by the court. Even Jefferson did not believe the First Amendment restricted the states. Of course, you knew that.
