[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] [i]Which it is. EVERYTHING is a partisan battle when the Democrats get involved[/i] Ya know, Omega, that can also be written that EVERYTHING is a partisan battle when the Republicans get involved. But of course, the bright, brilliant, wonderful guardian angel Republicans, champion of family values, wouldn't do anything BAD, would they? Hell, of course not. Packwood who? The point you made was that the Faith plan should be supported by all (especially Democrats) because it's got a majority black vote (you've yet to cite proof for this, however). Honestly, I do think it's a good idea. But the issue isn't is it a good idea or isn't it? The issue is, is it Constitutional, so I really don't understand how talking about how much popular support it has is an issue at all. Please explain. You've yet to respond to how Bush can get this plan past the Lemon Test, which, whether you care to admit it or not, is the law of the land, buddy-boy. You know, the Supreme Court? If Bush goes there and says, "well, you guys are misinterpreting the Constitution, trust me" he'll be laughed out of court for not having a legal argument. So, what is the legal argument that the Faith plan is NOT unconstitutional? I've yet to hear one. That's not quite true, First tried. First, while you make a compelling argument for the Faith plan, you ignore [i]Wallace v Jaffree[/i], where the Supreme Court ruled that even a [i]moment of silence for meditation or prayer is Unconstitutional[/i]. Now, a moment of silence is non-demoniational, but it was ruled unconstitutional, and this will be the argument against the Faith plan. In other words, Government shall have nothing to do with anything even closely resembling religion. If a moment of silence is unconstitutional, I'm betting the Faith plan is too. [/QB][/QUOTE]
