Exactly. The liberals’ favorite “wall of separation” document, Jefferson’s letter to the Danbury Baptists explained that this kind of interference by the government was not allowed under the Bill of Rights. Contrary to popular belief, the courts are part of the government.

Jefferson is pretty much all over the place on just about every issue there was. Of course, the biggie was having slaves and condemning slavery at the same time....and also saying blacks were inferior.

think of him as a muddled mesh of thoughts but nevertheless, a great patriot.

Psst...The Federal government designated lots as reserved for Religious purposes. That was our land!!

None of them has actually read the letter. If Black had not torn the term out of context, His own opinion would not be so totally disingenuous.
