[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] [i]Did you actually read what I wrote? If so, is English your second language?[/i] Omega, I don't think YOU read what you wrote. You made it into a big partisan battle between the EVIL Democrats and the HEROIC Republicans, which it obviously isn't. It's a question of law -- Constitutional or not. Stop changing the issue. [i]How can something that is dictated by a court become "the law of the land", when be definition, the legislature alone has the power to make law? Where would homeschooling fit in your view of the laws?[/i] What the fuck does homeschooling have to do with this? Explain. You're the one who pointed to the Constitution as the law of the land, I do believe. And since the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution, we must go by previous interpretations of the Constitution into what becomes legal or not under the Constitution. Clear enough? You still haven't answered the fucking question, something you're very good at. How does Bush's plan not violate the Lemon test? I'm guessing because you can't answer, it doesn't. [i]How is a government-enforced prayer similar to a law that allows personal freedom to choose educational venue?[/i] Omega, if you're going to respond to somthing, at least read it. The Court ordered that a moment of silence was unconstitutional. A moment of silence allowed for personal freedom to choose religious/or non-religious musings for that moment. Therefore, the argument can be made, that the ruling in [i]Wallave v Jaffree[/i] applies, especially because religion is an option. [i]Where do you find this in the Constitution, as interpreted by the people who wrote it?[/i] Again, no fantasy land, Omega! The Constitution is interpreted by the Supreme Court, not people who have been dead for two-hundred years. Honestly, if this is your best argument for why Bush's plan is Constitutional, just give up now. Oh, you might find this interesting. Article III, Section 2 The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made ... Now, you may notice that you've missed the Framer's intent for the Supreme Court to interpret the Constitution, but this makes the Lemon test valid. Do you see? Really, and people complain about the lack of education in public schools. Yeeesh. [/QB][/QUOTE]
