She did not even bother to mention the many cases that make the Establishment Clause apply to the States. Separation of church and state in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nor does she mention the many states' that have their own Constitutions which ban establishing a state religion. Original and Early State Constitutions

Supreme Court cases have a lot to say about how you interpret the US Constitition. They have since Marbury vs. Madison which established judicial review over Congress' and the President's actions.
There is no provision for "separation of church and state in the Constitution", anywhere.

The Courts gleaned that dishonest and stupid extrapolation from a letter that Jefferson wrote, but which was, with thought, not included in the Constitution.
