nor did it establish any religion Puh-leeze. The assertion that such a monument (and the specfic refusal to allow other points of view to be similarly presented) in court does not establish the preferred status of certain religions over others so far as this moonbat judge is concerned is laughable.

Then you'll need to notify the Supreme Court that they need to do some chiselling in their own chamber.

The Constitution DOES NOT prohibit the State or Local governments from having a preferred religion. As a matter of FACT, three states had official state religions codified in state law well after the Constitution was ratified.
What it does prohibit is the US congress from passing a any LAW regarding establishment. That means either to establish OR unestablish.
Try reading the Constitution again

We repeat: "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion." Your riposte is nothing but a classic bait & switch. Anything extrapolated from the amendment I quoted above, other than the plain meaning of the words, is nothing but penumbraic bull-hockery.
