Surely you understand the slippery slope that represents.
Who better to interpret a document than the men who wrote it?
People that are still alive?
No, that is what the 1st Amendment says. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
Yes.
It is not all that hard to understand. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
Nope. Not even mentioned in the 1st amendment. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
No, they wrote a document that prohibited it.
I'm not. You are. The document of 1791 reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"
History says it was prohibited in 1791. The law says it is still prohibited.
He never said "I don't know." The least he said was "I would be struggling to remember." An honest answer.
The actions of the men who wrote it.
I don’t think they wrote it the way you are reading it.
Why was prayer in Public schools when the men who wrote and ratified The Constitution ruled?
Congress shall make no law..... That is where you miss the entire concept. The States ran public schools. The States are not Congress. Prayer was ln schools.Bible reading was in schools. Congress did not have fiddly to do with it. The Constitution did however expressly prohibit them from restricting the exercise of religion.
How I am reading it does not matter. I simply look at their actions. When they ruled, prayer and Bible reading in schools.
I agree it doesn’t matter how YOU read it. It says what it says on purpose.
Because Christianity was the only religion represented in the 13 original colonies.
Let's see. 114th Congress, 12/14/2017. Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, S.J., Roman Catholic Priest.
113th Congress, 1/21/2015. The Most Reverend Richard E. Pates Bishop of Des Moines. Roman Catholic Bishop.
To quote you, "Chew on that a bit."
Most other religions were present. What does your point you are trying to make matter? If its Unconstitutional, its Unconstitutional. It obviously was not Unconstitutional then and its likewise not now.
I think Some Catholics are Christian. Nothing to chew on.Let's see. 114th Congress, 12/14/2017. Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, S.J., Roman Catholic Priest.
113th Congress, 1/21/2015. The Most Reverend Richard E. Pates Bishop of Des Moines. Roman Catholic Bishop.
To quote you, "Chew on that a bit."
Are these two?
Of course it is. That's why it is forbidden.
Don't have any idea.
So, the men who wrote and ratified The Constitution did not know what it meant? Judges 200 years later understood it better than the men who wrote it, debated it, and ratified it? You are not making much sense with your one liners.
It is forbidden because the justices failed to see and honor orig. intent of the founders.
