(Remember, I am a lawyer so I know how dumb lawyers can be.).

There is nothing in the first amendment about a WALL of Separation or even Separation of Church and State. I came from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson.
The Supreme Court over the years has expanded the "establishment" clause with such a hodge podge of decisions they have made a mess... a GOD awful mess to excuse the pun.
Is it ok to have In God we trust on our money? How about God in the pledge of allegiance? Prayers before we open the Supreme Court, Congress, in our oaths, on our gov buildings, nativity scenes in public buildings, Phrases on our buildings..
it goes on and on and on. AND .. it will get worse and worse the harder they try.

"Religion" is different than GOD, and establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof is what the founding fathers said and INTENDED to say. They were not stupid, unlike Sarah Palin (jab to you liberals).
So let the words in the Constitution mean what they say, and IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE OR ADD TO THEM, amend the constitution..
Stop letting judges write our laws JUST BECAUSE IT IS EASIER.
TRUST ME.. they are not perfect and make many many mistakes.. and even occasionally correct them.. Brown v. Board of Education.

BTW.. I am half atheist, half agnostic (nature if you will), in case you were wondering if I was a religious nut. I am NOT religious although I was raised in a strict religious home.. but I do not go balistic when god is mentioned anywhere in gov. That is the same kind of politically correct hysteria that cause NPR to fire Juan Williams.
