Originalists insist that under its original public meaning, the Estsblishment Clause cannot be incorporated against states under the Fourteenth Amendment and that states, including public schools, should be free to establish religious doctrine. Yet originalists also refuse to acknowledge that the Secomd Amendment was similarly a states rights provision at the Founding that also could not have been applied against those very states. #law #constitution #scotus #supremecourt senatormoobs.substack.com/p/th

@SenatorMoobs No, you misunderstand the argument.

It's not that states should be free to establish religious doctrine, It's the opposite, that states are bound not to be able to oppose religious doctrine.
