I am constantly amazed by the supreme courts inability to understand such a simple document. I realize that lawyers complicate things, beyond all reason, to keep us yokels coming to them for help, but the Constitution belongs to US not them.
The SC says prayer at school violates the rights of those who don't pray. The Constitution guarantees the right of freedom of religious expression, not the lack thereof, so that ruling was unconstitutional. Then the SC says that employers, who don't believe in contraception, don't have to provide it to employees who DO believe in it. That's inconsistent with the prayer ruling.
They're even considering removing " under God " from the pledge of allegiance and " in God we trust " from money. The Constitution does not guarantee the LACK of freedom of expression. The Constitution was formulated to provide protection from the very thing the SC is doing. Gov telling us what we may or may not do with our bodies and our souls. The Constitution guarantees that if you want to pray - pray, if you don't want to - don't. Believe in a different God - ok, don't believe in any God - ok
When the SC starts misunderstanding a simple document like the Constitution, we're in big trouble.
