In Everson vs. Boe, Justice Black decided that it was unconstitutional for New Jersey residents “to pay taxes to help support and maintain schools which are dedicated to, and which regularly teach, the Catholic Faith.”

What is this crap? Justice Black didn't "decide" that. That was Everson's contention. And FYI, Everson lost.

Justice Black did not consider the historical framework of the Bill of Rights;

But he did. In fact, almost half his opinion deals with the historical framework.

Kinda hard to care what else the author has to say after he begins with such whoppers.
