Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to
petition the government for a redress of grievances.


"Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of a religion" This
is the establishment clause. Congress "shall not establish a religion" is
another way to word it. A courthouse is not Congress, unless congress passed a
law mandating that all courthouses bear the 10 Commandments, the law doesn't
apply.

Not that the courts haven't exceeded their boundaries, they have, and
unconstitutional laws are increasingly being foisted onto the people of this
Republic. Law and constitutionality are no longer synonymous. Laws that grant
favoritism to a group based on its (the group's) sexual preferences or
ancestry are patently ludicrous, especially when the same document (the
constitution) is used to uphold the aforementioned groups rights to
participate in activities involving other non-protected groups. i.e. all
people are equal, unless you are black, gay, or (fill in your minority
preference), in which case you are more equal than others.

Let me know when you stop breast feeding (confer my original post in this
thread) and maybe we can discourse in an erudite manner.

Regards.

Go back and read it again. Only the saddest propagandists try and fly
this sad argument. There is nothing there about a national religion.

Never say never.
Nothing is absolute.

You are saying the same thing. What do you think favoring one religion over
another would mean? The establishment of a particular religion!

Where does the word "property" arise in reference to the religion aspect of
the First Amendment?

Congress doesn't mandate the inclusion of the 10 Commandments on courthouses,
therefore the Amendment doesn't apply. The Amendment doesn't say "no religious
displays will be permitted on public property", nor does it say that the
display "is permissible only of all religions can have access". It says that
"Congress shall make no law...." They didn't make a law, localities do the
displays of their own volition. I would expect predominately Jewish
neighborhood to display Jewish symbols during the holiday seasons, and
predominately Christian neighborhoods to display Christian symbols. None of
these involve congress.

Let me know when you're fully out of your mother's vagina, obviously the
birthing process is, as of yet, incomplete. 1 year of nursing, eventually some
kindergarten, move on to primary school, then high school, a little college,
and you'll be right in no time.

Good luck, it's a bitch being born feet first isn't it? If your head wasn't so
big, you'd have been birthed years ago.

Regards.

Wrong.

To 'establish' a religion means that the State favors one religion over
others, as in England.
And that means on ANY government property, from Federal to local government.

THAT is what the Founding Fathers didn't want.

Allowing religious displays on public property is NOT 'establishing' a State
religion
(to any SENSIBLE person), as long as ALL religions have equal rights to display
in
the same place.

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court has it's head up it's collective ass, and
doesn't see this.
