Been there, read that.

I take umbrage at your epithet.

I seek a simple understanding of your collective beefs, and you and expositor get really defensive. Somethin' ain't right.

They're wrong. The Constitution says:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

The North Dakota state constitution apparently contains nothing contradicting this. Since there's nothing contrary to it, there's nothing repugnant to the Constitution. There's no issue.

I have nothing against lawsuits against longstanding Constitutional violations. I was peripherally involved with one, which unfortunately lost. There just isn't a violation of the Constitution here.
