Strong language from Sotomayor: "What a difference five years makes. In 2017, I feared that the Court was 'lead[ing] us . . . to a place where separation of church and state is a constitutional slogan, not a constitutional commitment.' Today, the Court leads us to a place where separation of church and state becomes a constitutional violation. "
Well, our wise Latina shows her ignorance, as “separation of church and state” is not in the constitution. It is not a constitutional commitment(her words) in the first place.

Catchy and clever... but a completely wrong twist on things. It’s what the left does. Distort and destroy.
Is this normal for a justice to make such a personal emotional comment in a written decision? Or is this limited to affirmative action justices upset they didn’t get their way?

Funny thing about the US Constitution, Judge Sotomayor, it doesn’t have the words “separation of church and state” any where in it. You should read it some time. What it does say is “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” That should be taken to include Atheism as a religious view. If you prohibit public funds from an entity with their religious nature as the only disqualifying attribute then you essentially establish Atheism as the national religion. That goes completely contrary to the Founders’ intentions.
Separation of Church and State
Article 52 [Religion]
(1) Citizens of the USSR are guaranteed freedom of conscience, that is, the right to profess or not to profess any religion, and to conduct religious worship or atheistic propaganda. Incitement of hostility or hatred on religious grounds is prohibited.
(2) In the USSR, the church is separated from the state, and the school from the church.
-Constitution of the USSR
NOT in the Constitution of the USA.

At least the person who can’t think said something.
