I’m not Catholic, but they have my full support on this one. A total breach of the First Amendment.

Correct me if I am wrong, (and I’m sure some of you will even if I am right) but I think it reads “CONGRESS shall make no law...........

I’m not an expert but it would seem that the states, counties and the cities can do what ever they want, even if it’s wrong. although many would need to re-write their own constitutions first.

If that were the case, then all the cases against school boards for intelligent design would be tosssed instantly. Ditto for any free speech case. I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but I believe the precedent is that the First Amendment applies to all governmental bodies within the US
