The so-called "Faith-based initiatives" trough is unconstitutional per Amendments I and X.

Nonsense.

The initiatives do not establish any religion, and therefore do not violate I.

The initiatives do not restrain or usurp any rights retained by either the states or the people and therefore do not violate X.

They are laws respecting establishments of religion, and they effectively prohibit free exercise by taking from from practitioners of one religion and giving to other religious organizations.

They usurp the religious activities of the states and the people. The constitution did not authorize the federal government to fund religious organizations.
