quote "...THE FIRST AMENDMENT ONLY FORBIDS A LEGAL ASCENDANCY OF ONE RELIGION OVER ANOTHER...."

"Only"?

I must beg to differ; the First Amendment also provides the "...Congress shall make no law...prohibiting the free exercise..." of religion.

How a federal judge, how any judge may conclude that it has the power to restrict a citizen's free exercise of religion based on but half of the equation is tyranny alive.

I should clarify that I am referring only to the establishment clause portion of the amendment in my statement that Chummy quotes in post 53.

True. I meant to say establishment clause.

Chaw! We're talking liberal activists on the court here. Tyranny is their middle name. It's their opiate!
That's why it's so important to get conservatives on the benches. It's the only way the Constitution will survive. That's why the Lucifer left is fighting so hard to stop Constitutionalists from getting any where near the bench. It would destroy their Social revolution they've worked so hard to achieve.

"How a federal judge, how any judge may conclude that it has the power to restrict a citizen's free exercise of religion based on but half of the equation is tyranny alive."

It's a curious and wholly wrong decision, to be sure. But in line with other abominable decisions that have restricted legitimate free excercise of religion in recent years.

Hopefully, the USSC will do the right thing and overturn it.

[As you well know...]

The Federal Judge is an ass. The first Ammendment applies to the Feds - not to the several states.

Remember, the Constitution is written for me and thee every bit as much (more actually) as it was written for judges.
