Congress shall make no law

There is a point about this phrase also, and it dovetails nicely with the courts going around bending the Constitution.

You do know that "Congress shall make no law ... establishing a religion" means that a high school football coach can't lead his team in a prayer before a game, right?

Yeah, it's obvious that the 1st amendment intended to prevent students from praying before a game. It's obvious that the 2nd means only that states can form the National Guard, that bit about 'the people' is taken out of context. I'm trying to remember which amendment it is that says "the right of the people to abort pregnancy shall not be infringed"...I know it's in there, Judge Reinhardt says so.

Yeah that is why they stopped dinner prayers at VMI too right?

But if you want to take that a step further, then you could argue that say NEA is using public dollars to "establish" the Liberal/Atheist "religion". Maybe we should sue them? Seems only fair :)
