Fred has no point except to be a troll and bot
Fred rarely ever actually responds to others. He name calls, he labels
others He offers Alan Keyes as the only authority that matters trumping
courts, etc. He offers highly selective Jefferson quotes as the only
historical authority that matters. He spins the Tenth Amendment totally
overlooking primary source documentation that the tenth Amendment was
deliberately weakened and turned into basically window dressing
He plays games with the 14th Amendment, but that is fashionable now.
The Radical Religious Right is pushing big time to separate the
Establishment Clause from application against the states.
Every major fundamentalist/dominionist/reconstructionist/theocratic
spokesman, source, organization, site is uniformly pushing that party line,
especially since for the first time in history they have for certain one
and maybe at least two USSC justices supporting such a removal of the
Establishment Clause from application against the states.
Fred is a troll repeating the same mantras to anyone and everyone over and
over and over again.
He has been doing there in these particular newsgroups since July past
(minus a brief absence from end of August to a week or ten days ago)
and will contiue to do so as long as people encourage him by replying to
him.

.. . . You can't understand a phrase such as "Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion" by syllogistic reasoning. Words
take their meaning from social as well as textual contexts, which is why "a
page of history is worth a volume of logic." New York Trust Co. v. Eisner,
