Two questions I’ve always had about the first and second amendments. If the “separation of church and state” (which is not in the first amendment) meant that anything government related can have no religious connotation, then why did the very first congress open with a prayer, and why are the 10 commandments posted in the supreme court building?

Secondly, if the second amendment meant only to pertain to “Militias” (which I’m sure democrats are totally against), then why did the first campaigns to eliminate guns from the general populace not begin immediately after the signing of the constitution, but almost 150 years after?

Goes way beyond that. They gave away Federal land to be used for churches. AND THE EARLY CONRGRESS CIRCA 1830 HAD BIBLES PRINTED & PAID FOR by the USA....from an old official book.

This separation is very clear. ..."NO ESTABLISHED RELIGION".

"the wall was a created analogy" and throws everything up for grabs.

the wall IS NOT WHAT THE CONSTITUTION SAYS NOR CAN IT EVEN BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH A MANNER.
