Ok, good catch. I used the word right instead of power. I could’ve used the word “thing”.

The point is that states can establish religion.

But nice catch. You caught me on a word slip. 2 people did. Excellent of you.

Please, explain the relationship, if any, between “Everson” and “a wall of separation between church and State.”

Try to explain law in such a way that it references things less than 200 years old.

Read Elk Grove. Please. Pretty please. We’re having a Constitutional law debate, and you’re quoting Ronald Reagan.

Federalism. States Rights? Ever hear of States Rights? Anybody?

Yes, I quoted Ronald Reagan. Sorry if that was above your head along with my talk about the natural rights of man.

Both Jefferson and Madison referred to the desired effect of the 1st Amendment being a separation between Church and State. Jefferson used the term “wall”, Madison called it a “perfect separation”.
