He's correct about the Bill of Rights' not applying to the States. The First Amendment, e.g., says CONGRESS shall make no law...

Which line only applied to the establishment clause, as Justice Thomas just noted in his 'Newdow' opinion. The rest of our BOR's applies to ALL levels of Government, and protects ALL of our individual rights.

It was the Supreme Court that decreed that "Congress" means "your local government school" or "your local city council" is not allowed to put up a Christmas tree, etc.

Yep, the USSC is just as out of control as the Statists.

It is the Supreme Court that decreed that because CONGRESS is prohibited from limiting speech, your state cannot do anything about pornography, etc.

There are plenty of valid laws about the criminal aspects of porn.
We don't need more prohibitional decrees on 'sin' nor on 'evil' property like 'assault weapons' .

Uh-huh. And Newdow was a federal case. Would you care to tell me why Justice Thomas even brought it up? No one else seems to know why.
