-Cp said:There is no constitutional restriction on a local community from "endorsing" religious expression with its governmental institutions. The U.S. Constitution only prohibits the U.S. Congress from writing law "establish[ing]" a national religion or denomination. The restriction does not extend beyond the U.S. Congress. Yet the U.S. Supreme Court has trampled upon the 1st Amendment and denied the right of religious expression.
Precisely. Personal matters such as religion were constitutionally designed to be decided at the community level; it's the whole thrust of limited, devolving government. The constitution is as brilliantly tyrant-proof as our founders could make it; ergo, those in the judiciary (and their wire-pullers) who attempt to thwart it via cynical, preposterous interpretations are TYRANTS. They will succeed to the degree that America remains asleep.
