Reply #62: Amendment 1 of the Bill of Rights [View All]

[Frangible]

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

LAW: 1 a (1) : a binding custom or practice of a community : a rule of conduct or action prescribed or formally recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority (2) : the whole body of such customs, practices, or rules

Now it may seem that most people don't care about the bill of rights anymore. Hell, the second amendment is all but gone these days. Truly sad. I'll miss it. And people aren't even getting trials under Bushco. I'll miss that right too.

Anyway, this thing was endorsed by Congress. And it deals with religion.

Although termed differently, in the proper definition of law, it is a law. And it is respecting an establishment of religion.

I don't think it takes a very liberal interpretation of the first amendment to decide this goes against the bill of rights.

Not that anyone even cares about the bill of rights anymore, other than me. So I guess my opinion is worth about as much as the bill of rights, nothing. But that's my $0.02.
