In general, I do believe in the Separation of church and State. I would not want to see this country become a theocracy. I do however, believe some limits should be placed on the separation doctrine.
Our Congress has, for too many decades, shirked it’s responsibility by allowing the Supreme Court free and unfettered reign. In it’s collective effort to curry favor from the electorate and not lose any voter support they have simply shrugged their collective shoulders and said, “The Supreme Court has ruled, what can we do about it?”
They can do a lot about it. They can enact clarifying laws. They can add another amendment to our Constitution if that is what is needed for clarification.
In these cases I don’t blame the Supreme Court – they have only been doing what bureaucracies do. Filling a power vacuum.
