Your motivation is your ignorant and bigoted hatred of decent, moral, religious Americans.
Yep that's more or less what Justice Thomas writes, here:
" The text and history of the Establishment Clause strongly suggest that it is a federalism provision intended to prevent Congress from interfering with state establishments."
I agree with his assessment.
By using the term "grandfathered" you are suggesting that these churches were allowed to operate with the states' blessings despite the fact that the constitution forbade them to do so, only because they so operated before the Constitution and were "grandfathered in."
Yes, I agree.
Not so.
You are simply denying historical fact. -- Feel free to do so, but it makes your position look foolish.
You are the one denying the historical and legal fact that the Establishment clause did not outlaw state churches, but did precisely the opposite.
They weren't "outlawed". The establishment clause was a political compromise that worked.. -- State churches no longer exist. -- They died out because of sheer apathy, imo..
-- Utah's statehood fight proves that such establishments were seen to violate our guarantee to have a Republican Form of Government in every State.
Your motivation is your ignorant and bigoted hatred of decent, moral, religious Americans. Hillary Clinton would be very proud of your tyrannical nationalism. You liberaltarians are a bunch of terrorist-loving anarchist dope-fiends.
Whatever. Such ignorant & hateful comments belong in the backroom.
