Nothing ever a Constutution can prevent prayer.
The seperation clause prohibits public schools teachers
from leading prayer sessions in the classroom.
It's so basic. most of us thought even Yale
students could grasp the concept.

American theocracy iis quite simple,
Whenever the US is at war, which is
constantly during the 20th centry, it turms
into a theocracy.

it's the US's primary highway to Cuba.

It 's taken pro bono, ***** retard, as The Supreme Court
ACLU morass of page shitheafs would say,
that Thomas Jeffeerson, Ben Frankin, and James Madison,
were educated. So it's an inherited property of the
constitution, and that US Congress idiots need to be 26 or so to
run for congress. And that US Congress idiots who let the Exxon
strragetic reserve contract to Haliburton are morons,
idiots, and just in General, Goebells wannabee
New Pork Israeli moron spys anyway, rather
than politicians, so it makes no difference to the constitution.

Then perhaps you should look at the fourteenth amenment.
A teacher is an agent of the government acting in an official
capacity.

critical thinking, rational thought and how to identify logical fallacies.

And as has been oft repeated, the Court has long ago upheld that latter
amendments, when they conflict with earlier amendments or with the
Constitution itself, shall take precedence. As such, the Court has put forth
that the 14th Amendment places on state and local governments the same
restrictions with regards to guaranteed rights that the 1st places on
Congress. In short, state and local (ie county, municipal and special
district) governments "shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom
of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances", just
as Congress shall not.

Where did I say you were, moron?
Just that you are a scoiopath who imagines that government agents get
to teach my kids their religion.
They have no freedom of speech as government agents.
Outside the coercive environment of school they can say what they
like.
Are you even capable of grasping the difference?
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or

LOOK UP THE FUCKING TENTH AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENTS, AND THE

Houston Chronicle - United States
... The separation of church and state doesn't prevent public school
students from praying while they're at school or participating in
school-sponsored activities ...
Although anti-religious expression factions force an association
between "separation of church and state" and the establishment clause,
you will typically not see these words referenced with a specific
amendment or particular clause because it is actually unconstitutional,
an idea concocted by anti-religious expression activist Justices who
couldn't care less what the Constitution actually says in the first
place.
Also, although the Constitution does not place restrictions on public
prayer as anti-religious expression factions would have everybody
believe, Jesus Christ himself placed restrictions on prayer as
evidenced by Matthew 6:5-7. So there is no controversy with respect to
prayer in sports; there is just ignorance of both the Constitution and
the Scriptures.
Also, the article referenced above fails the 10th Amendment test:
"Article 10: The powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the people."
When the 1st and 10th Amendments are considered together, it is
reasonable to conclude that the 10th reserved the power to legislate
religion to the States since the 1st explicitly prohibited this power
only to Congress (federal government; aka United States). Church-state
separation discussions which fail to mention the 10th are based on the
Court's scandalous interpretation of the establishment clause in the
Everson opinion:
"The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at
least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a
church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all
religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor
influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his
will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No
person can be punished for entertain- [330 U.S. 1, 16] ing or
professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or
non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to
support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be
called, or whatever from they may adopt to teach or practice religion.
Neither a state nor the Federal Government can, openly or secretly,
participate in the affairs of any religious organizations or groups and
vice versa. In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment
of religion by law was intended to erect 'a wall of separation between
Church and State.' Reynolds v. United States, supra, 98 U.S. at page
164." -- Everson v. Board of Education of Ewing TP. 1947.

Liar.
Your anti-religious expression activist judge friends are legislating

constitutonal church-state separation law all the time.

unfettered----except where civil disorder is caused, or

justifications.
NO ONE can truthfully claim that's "what Christ said,

Christians are upfront that their belief in Jesus Christ is based on

"Article 10: The powers not delegated to the United States by the

When conflicts arise, who is the ONLY one to determine

"If the two departments [Federal and State] should claim each the same
subject of power, where is the common umpire to decide ultimately

Yes, when government tries to do it---through

Ah, another of your unsubstantiated, "it is because I said so,"

You can't prove Christ said ANYTHING contained in the

stories
NO ONE can truthfully claim that's "what Christ said,

Faith doesn't have to be true---only believed by
someone.

"If the two departments [Federal and State] should claim each the same

Courts, Freddie
Rulings can be appealed.
Ultimately, the USSC has final say
That is OUR rule of law.
In cases of little importance or urgency, the prudence of
both parties will keep them aloof from the questionable ground; but if
it can neither be avoided not compromised, a convention of the States

Again, that's merely a belief. It is not supported by
facts.
Also, although the Constitution does not place restrictions on public
prayer as anti-religious expression factions would have everybody
believe,
No one ever said it did.
Liar.
Your anti-religious expression activist judge friends are legislating
from the bench, deciding that people are violating the phantom
constitutonal church-state separation law all the time.
Yes, when government tries to do it---through
legislation
The Bible cannot be used as evidence to support
argument.
Ah, another of your unsubstantiated, "it is because I said so,"
justifications.
You can't prove Christ said ANYTHING contained in the
bible---let alone most of the centuries old hearsay
stories
NO ONE can truthfully claim that's "what Christ said,
did, or caused to happen"
Christians are upfront that their belief in Jesus Christ is based on
faith.
Faith isn't evidence, Freddie
Faith doesn't have to be true---only believed by
someone.
"Article 10: The powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the
States respectively, or to the people."
When conflicts arise, who is the ONLY one to determine
what a "states right" is?
"If the two departments [Federal and State] should claim each the same
subject of power, where is the common umpire to decide ultimately
between them?
Courts, Freddie
Rulings can be appealed.
Ultimately, the USSC has final say
That is OUR rule of law.
In cases of little importance or urgency, the prudence of
both parties will keep them aloof from the questionable ground; but if
it can neither be avoided not compromised, a convention of the States
must be called to ascribe the doubtful power to that department which
they may think best." --Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. ME
16:47
See CIvil War, reconstruction and the 14th amendment.
I'm simply not telling you what you want to hear.
Wrong again, Freddie
You're telling something that merely *****.
States cannot take away what the national constitution
gives you
States are NOT supreme
To the contrary, Article 5 of the Constitution shows that it is the
States who have the final decision with respect to what the
Constitution says.
Funny
But seriously----no one accepts that nonsense.

Ok,
You,
The judges who fired Judge Moore,
The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals judges who decided that the Pledge was
unconstitutional,
etc..
Moore was fired because he disobeyed a lawful court order; because he
said he'd disobey any similar order in the future; and because he
hasn't the intelligence to be a dogcatcher, much less Chief Justice of
Alabama.
And it was the 9th Circuit, not the 3d, that ruled on the Pledge, you
pathetically ignorant hack.
Nor are silly conclusions, inferences, innuendo,
conjecture, rumors, theories and Judge Moore lies
I have no doubt that Judge Moore was at least speaking his convictions.
Which only goes to show how amazingly dense Moore is. Have you
actually read the 11th Circuit opinion? Do you really know what kind
of brain-dead arguments Moore made?
The poor ***** was on C-Span book notes and made a
thorough ***** of himself
It is astounding that this ignorant Judge was making
arguments out of pre-civil war jurisprudence as if the
Civil war never occurred or the mountain of
constitutional precedence since.
Which is probably the best evidence of why Freddie is
so comical----that he buys that kind of nonsense.
