Trump Wants the Government Running the Catholic Church in the U.S.. You Know, Like the Communists Do in China.

He'll probably "fix" the flag while he's at it, too.

Hmmm. I get the feeling the constitution may prohibit that..?

@Waveney The problem is the wording. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion".

It doesn't say the president or even the states. Why this supreme Court over ruled Roe versus wade and let the states decide. Same with the ten commandments in schools.

It doesn't say the president or even the states.

14th Amendment (in part):
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

@beckyromero And this supreme Court, the due process, has said at "life, liberty, or property," is undefined.

It doesn't apply to religion. Why the ten commandments in schools is allowed for certain states.

I don't like it. Yet it must say no religion specifically.

It's all how you interpret it. The primary job of the supreme Court. If it's written too vague, it can mean anything. And Republicans are well known for letter of the law.

The spirit of the law doesn't matter to them. Nor does it say anything in the constitution about the spirit of the law.

It's all so disgusting for me because of the rigamortis type thinking. Unfortunately I know when a computer program is being literal. I see the actions that it takes and know where the problem is.
