It's not written into the #Constitution but what happened to the #SCOTUS' doctrine of the #SeparationOfChurchAndState??? 🤔

@sgt1372 maybe they started paying attention to the fact that it wasn't written into the Constitution?

@bicmay

@bicmay @volkris

The legal concept of the separation of church & state is based upon an interpretation of the anti #Establishment & #FreeExercise of religion clauses in the 1st A to the #Constitution but is not mentioned in the Constitution & is therefore subject to differing viewpoints.

Let's just hope that the current #SCOTUS isn't presented with the opportunity to interpret this concept.🤦

@sgt1372 @bicmay @volkris

Constitution of the United States
First Amendment
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; constitution.congress.gov/cons

seems pretty explicit

@libramoon

The problem is that yes, it is very explicit, and no, What it explicitly says doesn't support that stance.

@sgt1372 @bicmay

@libramoon

Congress shall make no law? Well isn't about making law.

@libramoon the Texas legislature is not the federal Congress. So no.
