The more interesting point of note in this discussion is the evolution of what is "OK" in public life. The Founders started each session with a prayer, usually led by someone who was a minister of one religion or another. None of them considered that prayer to contradict the First Amendment. Now prayer in public places is considered verboten (except in Congress, which is ironic in the extreme). The First Amendment says nothing about separation of Church and State. It merely says that the U.S, unlike most European countries of the time, would not have a state-sanctioned religion (e..g.,Church of England, Lutheranism, Catholicism).
We had anti-pornography laws for 200 years in this country before the ACLU figured out that pornography was protected by the First Amendment. Now it is an accepted fact that censorship violates the First Amendment. But it doesn't.
For at least the first 150 years under our Constitution, it was understood that Congress lacked the Constitutional "power" to spend taxpayer money to benefit any individual person. Indeed, President Cleveland vetoed a bill that would have given money for drought relief to Midwest farmers, because Congress lacked the power to do it. Congress didn't even try to override the veto because he was right. The Constitution has not changed, and yet most "discretionary" spending now goes directly to benefit individual citizens. Which is unconstitutional.
I understand that the Left wants to change America. That's fine. But there is an inherent obligation to make those changes in a Constitutional manner, by passing new laws and in fact a Constitutional Amendment giving Congress more and different powers than they have under the current Constitution. But the Left doesn't want to go through that bother, and the Media lets them get away with it. The reason why they don't want to bother with doing it Constitutionally is because their initiatives lack the level of popular support to get those initiatives done in the Constitutional way.
The Left is, therefore, evil.
