    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    Freedom OF religion also means freedom FROM religion.

          Thomas is the primary originalist here, let’s not paint them all with the same brush. If Congress would impeach him, we might have a decent(ish) Court. See my list of “liberal” opinions they’re rendered (above).

          Scotus has always been conservative. Get out of here with this bullshit. You think a few liberal rulings sprinkled over the cake of conservatism means anything? History has already proven otherwise.
