Us conservatives should cite the fact specifically, that the phrase "separation of church and state" does NOT appear anywhere in the Constitution, when the lefties try to shoehorn it into the First Amendment.

We should immediately follow by quoting: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof", which means that no person of faith may be prohibited from speaking or holding government office based on religion.

When they bite on that one, you can point out that people have the right to do both at the same time. "no law" means NO LAW period.

Congress shall make no law...

If the Founders would have only stopped right there.
