BREAKING NEWS: The “wall of separation” phrase used to claim separation of church and state comes from a letter President Thomas Jefferson wrote a dozen years after the Constitution and Bill of Rights were ratified.

I'm on the side of the Constitution. Most likely the same side you're on. I just like to be fair in my belief that we've put waaaay too much stock in the word SUPREME of the supreme court and blindly follow whatever interpretation of the Constitution they say we must. This is always one of the easiest issues to debate that point (the other being the SCOTUS ruling that internment of all Japanese people in WWII was, in fact, Constitutional).
