In our own time, the judiciary has embraced this figurative phrase as a virtual rule of constitutional law and as the organizing theme of church–state jurisprudence, even though the metaphor is nowhere to be found in the U.S. Constitution.

And the left knows that if people remain ignorant about what is in the Constitution, they will get away with it.

I did find "Seperation of Church and State" in the Constitution in a couple of places.

Article 52 states, “the church is separated from the state”. Section 1, Article 14 states, “...shall be a secular state. No religion may be instituted as state-sponsored or mandatory religion. Religious associations shall be separated from the state,” Also in the 1918, the 1924 and 1936 Constitution of the ......USSR.

....Oh wait wrong Constitution.... Sorry (/sarc)

Well, it's a sure bet that the people will remain ignorant about what is in the Constitution. All that the enemies freedom of religion have to do is say the magic phrase, "wall of separation" and the argument is settled as far as most people are concerned. I have challenged people to tell where I can find that phrase in the Constitution. They don't know where to look for it but they're sure it's in there somewhere, after all, the ACLU told them it is.

The left and MANY jackasses right here at good ol Free Republic who think that Valedictorians can't mention God or Ten Commandments and Crosses can't be displayed.
