We’re not just talking about laws enacted by Congress:

“In 1947 the Supreme Court held in Everson v. Board of Education that the establishment clause is one of the “liberties” protected by the due-process clause. From that point on, all government action, whether at the federal, state, or local level, must abide by the restrictions of the establishment clause.”

And nobody here is talking about creating law by popular vote, so I don’t know why you brought that up.

I brought it up because of the way you phrased the earlier post, i.e. "I was using “we” to refer to us as a nation, as a law-creating entity which includes the actions of the Supreme Court."
