Looks like a tortured argument to me, based on the thesis that when Bingham referred to the first 8 amendments, he wasn't actually referring to the amendments, but to some part of the amendments. I prefer to take the man at his word.

In any case, I consider the establishment clause a fundamental liberty; it recognizes my right not to be subjected to a state religion.
