Reply #88: Separation of church and state IS the law already

[MajorChode]

Obviously you don't understand the first amendment or separation of church and state even though you claim otherwise.

You seem to be claiming that just because there isn't an amendment that contains the phrase, "separation of church and state" it's "not the law".

To which I say, hogwash.

The USSC has already determined what the establishment clause means and there are numerous decisions that define it. Case law IS law because it's up to the USSC to determine what the law means, not you or I or the Huntington County Community School Corp. So whether you like it or not, that IS the law, it is effectively written into the constitution, so if you don't want it in there work on getting your own amendment to remove it. As you said, "go for it." The onus is not on me to have an amendment written that is redundant.

Try reading McCollum v. Board of Education sometime, which is practically the exact same issue and has already been adjudicated. The school will loose and they are simply wasting taxpayer dollars defending something that's completely indefensible. That's not good for the school regardless of what you think.

What is really sad is the taxpayers in that district are being forced to have their tax dollars wasted so some local politician can make a religious statement.
