Supreme Court

As a nation founded on Judeo Christian values, why does Catholicism have the majority of seats on the Supreme Court? We were not founded on Catholicism, we are Christians and Jews.

For the religious people that believe they know better than Cornell law school!

Separation of Church and State.

Separation of Church and State is a phrase that refers to the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The phrase dates back to the early days of U.S. history, and Thomas Jefferson referred to the First Amendment as creating a “wall of separation” between church and state as the third president of the U.S. The term is also often employed in court cases. For example, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black famously stated in Everson v. Board of Education that “[t]he First Amendment has erected a wall between church and state,” and “[t]hat wall must be kept high and impregnable.”

@DeWayfarer Oh wow. Some of you people show your true lack of intelligence through trying to make others look bad. Is there anyone with a mind that does not resort to this?

@DeWayfarer I am not calling them stupid.

@kgabbert1 you are by that statement, because I mentioned nothing else. So your statement is against Cornell law school.

@DeWayfarer That phrase was coined by Justice Hugo Black in an opinion piece. It is not holding in any way.

Hugo Black was also a KKK man. KKK is your truth right? Why do you worship the KKK? Why do you hate negroes? Why do you hate Catholics?

@DeWayfarer So to be fair, don't we need at least 1 Islamist, 1 Buddhist, 1 Atheist, etc?

@SW-User and you are ignoring their initial statement.
The phrase dates back to the early days of U.S. history, and Thomas Jefferson referred to the First Amendment as creating a “wall of separation” between church and state as the third president of the U.S.

And why I purposely underlined it

@kgabbert1 I would totally agree with the addition of a few more.

Atheists really don't count though since they technically don't believe in anything.

Please note I am not an atheist nor even agnostic.
