4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

You might want to send this to the Supreme Court as a gentle reminder that the "author" of the "Wall of Separation and State", Thomas Jefferson, voted for laws as a state legislator making breaking the sabbath a crime punishable by law.

In other words, Jefferson voted to codify the 4th Commandment of the Decalogue as a state representative.

Should we impeach him posthumously?

Should breaking the "Sabbath" still be punished in criminal law?

And, who's Sabbath shall we observe?

Jefferson? The slave owner?
