Ok, first we had climate change deniers, now we have church/state separation deniers.

In reality, what we have are liberal/socialist worldview deniers. Gasp! You don't say!!

Church/state separation. Where is that in the Constitution exactly ? Can’t seem to find it.

Even though he can’t find “separation of church and state”, the author ignores what is actually in the constitution.

Article VI of the Constitution says that ..”no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.”.

The judge’s religious view are irrelevant to his nomination.

What we have in the first amendment is free exercise and no establishment.

I've read through the constitution and I just can't find the part where it says their must be a "separation" between church and state. Can someone help me out with this?

There seems to be a consensus among the legal profession that materialism is the official state religion of the United States but there was once a similar consensus that a black man has no rights that a white man must respect. Legal consensus tends to change over time.

That means what Mateer is really saying is that he plans to be an activist judge /who doesn’t give a damn about precedent. He wants to create laws from the bench

Funny how liberals have a cat when a conservative judge makes law from the bench....could care less when liberal judge does it!!!

The false concept of separation is a perversion of Thomas Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptists. Some obviously don’t like it but there is no separation of church and state.

The separation clause is right before the privacy clause.

I guess “denier” joins “racist” in the category of ultimate shutdown words. When you get called one of these two words the discussion is supposed to end with the recipient of the epithet hanging his head in shame. I suppose it was inevitable. Denier was a useful word for those who trivialize the genocide of European Jews and it is way overdue to become a general term of opporbrium for use in any dispute about anything.

“Church/State Separation Denier”

Way too early for me to have to translate this into English.

Great appointments if McConnell will throw out the blue slip requirement and get these folks approved. Otherwise the President needs to go to states with GOP senators and choose all his appointments there, likely even more conservative than the originals.

Common sense, what this country is missing is God in schools. What’s wrong with a prayer in a school? Good for the judge.

The only separation mentioned (or contemplated) in the Constitution is that the government cannot establish an official religion. Libs and Leftists have long perverted that to mean that there can BE no religion where any government is involved.

It’s that he doesn’t give a damn about church/state separation.

Why should he? It's made up liberal crap with no basis in truth. The US constitution itself refers to Jesus as "Our Lord" and gives the President the day off for the Christian Sabbath.

There never was any basis for this made up "separation of church and state". That is liberal vomit that the rest of us have had to tolerate since the 1940s, when it was first put forth.
