Wrong. It appeared in at least 1 SCOTUS decision in the late 1800's.

Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black first enshrined the phrase “separation of Church and State” into law in Everson vs. the Board of Education, 1947.

Do you know what decision that was or have a reference to it? I have a vague recollection of a decision that referenced that, but I can't remember if it was at the state rfederal level. I do remember that the way it was applied was to stop catholics from using their bible and keeping the KJV in the schools. It was really an amazing piece of convuluted logic.

I'm confused. What part of the story is wrong? The whole editorial story? You quoted the case with Justice Black, but in response to what?
