6th Circuit Judge Richard Suhrheinrich wrote in the unanimous decision: “The ACLU makes repeated reference to the ’separation of church and state.’ This extra-constitutional construct has grown tiresome. The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state. Our nation’s history is replete with governmental acknowledgment and in some cases, accommodation of religion.”

A-1 Grade Supreme Court material.

My two cents worth is:

The Counterfeit Christians who think it is a good idea for the government to hand out religious advice make repeated reference to “a national religion or church.” This extra-constitutional construct has grown tiresome

My two cents worth is:

Where does it demand a Union of Church and State?

My two cents worth is:

James Madison’s Separation of Church and State is not about acknowledgements, accommodations or endorsements of religion. It is about no civil authority over our duties to the Creator.

Religion is wholly exempt from Civil Society's cognizance.
