[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Yet, still, does the support of the African-American community make it any more/less Consitutional? No one has yet answered this question. Thank you very much. The Supreme Court has given broad meaning to the Establisment Clause is modern times, reading it as requiring an almost complete seperation of church and state. School prayer cases illustrate how the SC, despite of majority sentiments, has INISTED that the government stay OUT OF RELIGION. Engel v Vitale (1962), the SC ruled that the daily reading of a non-demoniational prayer was unconstitutional. Abington School District v. Schempp (1963), the SC ruled that bible reading in a PA school district was unconstitutional. In Alabama, Wallace v Jaffree (1985), that a moment of silence for meditation or prayer was also unconstitutional. The SC repeatedly has shown that it believes the Establishment Clause on the First Ammendment mandates Government neutrality toward religion. Therefore, while certain Republicans in here like to cry and whine about how the Dems are upset because the Republicans are making moves on the black voters, those same Republicans (who bitch about everything illegal the Dems do) seem to forget that they're perfectly willing to break the "law of the land." Please explain this, because I certainly can't. [/QB][/QUOTE]
