I'm unsure of the context that you are replying to.
Secularists and atheists tend to put Jefferson on a pedastal because of his "wall of separation" words which have been treasonously taken out of context by our corrupt, anti-religious expression Supreme Court.
Then, when I correct secularists about Jefferson's actual understanding of the "wall of separation" by pointing out Jefferson's notes about the 1st and 10th Amendments, then they change their tune about Jefferson and say that he's dead. So Jefferson goes from his place of honor on a pedestal as a hero to atheists to being gagged and tied and thrown into the back of a closed.
The bottom line is that neither the 1st and 10th Amendments or Jefferson's understanding of them where our religious freedoms are concerned are going to be disappearing anytime soon. I've told secularists that if they want constitutional absolute c&s separation then they can lead the people to exercise their Article V powers to properly amend the Constitution for absolute c&s separation. Otherwise, even if I wanted absolute c&s separation, I will not tolerate a renegade Court that mutinies against the Article 5 powers of the people by unlawfully legislating absolute c&s separation from the bench. I'm sure that others would feel the same way too.
Just the weight that the "Wall of Separation-ists" give to Jefferson who was not in Philadelphia that Summer.

Strong words...
I've often thought that failure to "protect and defend the constitution" after taking the oath should be a capital offense.
What other recourse is appropriate for a judge who subverts the constitution?
