Wrong again, of course. The plain words & concepts of the constitution itself clearly state its meaning.
Many here refuse to believe its basic simplicity. - They want it to support their particular agenda. - Damn shame.

And the only way they can protect that immense power is by acceding to the will of the majority. But they have to be very, very clever. They can't be obvious. They can't move fast. They need to creep up on citizens with pages and pages of reasons why separate but equal is constitutional for one court but not another, why congress could give land to Christian missionaries once but now a Christian cannot preach on public land.
It is the biggest con going. But when enough people are happy with the con, it continues. Someday the court may go to far. It will be interesting when Americans simply say "no", I will say "God" in the pledge.
