So the opinion of the guy who wrote the First Amendment doesn’t matter to you. (James Madison)

The opinion of the guy who insisted a Bill of Rights be included doesn’t matter to you. (Thomas Jefferson)

And now the opinion of the guy wrote what Madison based his own writings on doesn’t matter to you. (George Mason)

Do you claim to respect the Conservative Constitutional principle of original intent?

==Do you claim to respect the Conservative Constitutional principle of original intent?

That's precisely what I am claiming. And let me reiterate that neither the opinions of you, me, Mason, Madison, Jefferson, Washington, or any other person commenting on Virginia law matter one wit when it comes to the Bill of Rights/First Amendment.

Let me make this easy for you, Allmendream. According to the ORIGINAL INTENT of the founders, the Bill of Rights was never, ever supposed to apply to the states. They were supposed to ONLY APPLY TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Do you get it now? The federal courts have no business telling the states what they can and can’t do with respect to the teaching of creation, evolution, state support of churches, or anything else.
