SF, yes, we've seen Trump backpedaling on Paul Ryan. Much as Hillary did with Obama. Politics as usual. If Trump does make it into office, I think the GOP will work with him. Just like Hillary supporters did with Obama.
Seperation of church and state. Everson vs. Board of education 1947. Its about the due process clause. The majority opinion by Justice Black:
"The 'establishment of religion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large

Dear SeizeForce,
I agree with some of your points as it pertains to Trump. That is why I did not support him in the primary. I chose Ted Cruz. The point I was trying to make is not for the Government to "govern" religion, but to protect my freedoms and rights as it pertains to my faith and religion....my right to say Merry Christmas, to hang a crucifix in my office, etc.
As for me supporting a theocratic government, well you obviously have failed comprehension skills.....but then perhaps if you had taken time to read my entire post, you would have understood what I was saying.
As I also stated, my post was my opinion. When you address me, keep your disrespectful sarcasm to yourself. You can rebut my opinion, but do so respectfully. As I said, all in how you approach a topic, and how respectful you are, will deem what sort of impact or respect you will receive or that you will even be listened to. :-)

Good quote, marshal. I for one think that the federal government and courts have been far from 'impartial' when it comes to religion, which is the major we are seeing people fighting back with laws that some people don't like. Hopefully this will all end up where it belongs.
