Congress shall make no law . . .

Doesn't say anything about the Supreme Court prohibiting religion.

"'Congress shall make no law . . . '

"Doesn't say anything about the Supreme Court prohibiting religion."

Need it? Remember the Founders were a pretty unique, smart bunch of fellas; what branch 'makes the law'?

The SCOTUS doesn't write laws. They interpret the laws written - or at least, that's what they're suppose to do. Instead, today, the liberal activists take the law into their own hands and rule by facist left wing litigation.

Yes, but the Supreme Court is not supposed to make law, just rule on its constitutionallity.

sorry your argument does not hold water. The Supreme court can't make laws at all. They can only see to it that those established by the constituion and congress are upheld. The first over riding the second. In this case the the supreme court has no such law from either that supports removing the commandments.
