"It doesn't make it "okay" but it is not unconstitutional. The simple reason is that the U.S. Constitution does not prohibit the imposition of a uniform code of SECULAR beliefs. It does, however, prohibit the establishment of religion. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the Founders. "

Again, you express the absurd conclusion that law could be deemed unconstitutional or constitutional based solely on the state of mind of the legislators at the time of enactment. And how pray tell will you read their minds?

Either the *text* of the state law violates Constitution, or it does not. So again - Burkhas - in or out? Mind reading at this extreme level is flawed Constitutional jurisprudence.

I have no bone to pick with the founders, they are on my side. My bone is solely with bad constitutional interpretation of the past 30 years and the animus against Free Excercise of Religion in Federal courts.


"The simple reason is that the U.S. Constitution does not prohibit the imposition of a uniform code of SECULAR beliefs. "

The ACLU would love you - but NOTE - the 1st Amendment free speech etc. clause protects us from imposition of *any* beliefs, secular included!!

You continue to ignore the fact that "intent" is an integral element of the majority of our laws, including the Ten Commandments. Until you squirm your way around that, your rant means little.
