The 1st amendment says "Congress shall make no law..." Does a county courthouse = Congress?

That's what the US Supreme Court has said.

The Fourteenth Amendment incorporated the First Amendment to the states.

That's what the US Supreme Court has said. The Fourteenth Amendment incorporated the First Amendment to the states.

But that's not what the 1st amendment clearly says. REad it again: Congress (not judiciary) shall make no law... Repeat that over and over until you get it thru your head that judges CANNOT MAKE LAWS. Only Congress can establish a religion. Get it? A courthouse in backwater county is not Congress or a State legislature.
