Of the 40 million residents, 300,000 are street gang members, but somehow Saudi Arabia matters.

Am I wrong? Is that just less than 10% ? Come on Man, put down the phone and look out your front door.

Gangs of Black Bears, Moose, Elk and Deer in my hood. You do have to be aware of your surroundings.

The only “gangs” in my neighborhood are coyotes. Four different family groups talking to each other as I sat on the backporch this morning sipping coffee and enjoying the Blue Moon. The only thing really dangerous thing I might run into in the dark is a copperhead. No gangs of them though. Albeit, small clusters sometimes occur. The only time in Texas I really worry about watching my surroundings is when I am in DFW or on the ranch just north of the Rio.

As for the Saudis....
MBS is a murdering despot, nothing he does surprises me.

He’ll do to watch for sure.

And those principles are exactly? Rule of law, respect for our Democratic process, allowing others to worship in a manner that they see as fit, separation of Church and State, etc.

Our Democratic Process, however, is one of those areas in which could use some improvement. I certainly wish we could get back to that time when all were allowed to worship as they saw fit. And, there is no national church or religion…what the Founders meant by “separation of church and state.”

Like any good conservative these days I'm sure you are an originalist when it comes to interpreting our constitution. Could you point me to the section where the founders legitimize religion in Government at a State and local level but not Nationally? I may have missed that part.

Better yet…can you point to the part that forbids it?

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.

In this case Congress is understood to be all forms of Government.

Ahh…there in lies the rub! Do you think the Founders were so stupid to write “Congress” and mean all forms of government down to town council?

Your local Town, village etc. can not impose limits on your first amendment rights.

That is a bastardized interpretation…for sure. But by NO way is it an Originalist Interpretation as you asked me for.

You have no right to impose your God on to me.

Never tried and never will. I am ready for some reciprocity here.

quote:

The first clause in the Bill of Rights states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.”

The Establishment clause of First Amendment is often “interpreted” to require separation of church and state. For approximately the first 150 years of the country’s existence, there was little debate over the meaning of this clause in the Constitution. However, challenges arose to existing laws and practices, and eventually, the Supreme Court was called upon to determine the meaning (interpret) of the establishment clause.

Today, though not explicitly stated in the First Amendment, the clause is often interpreted to mean that the Constitution requires the separation of church and state.

Damn, Scott, is that Trump University math?

10% of 40 million would be 4 million, 10% of THAT would be 400,00, so you're looking for .75%...

Liberal judges (no unanimous rulings…all narrow) “interpreted” it to fit their agenda. This is just a fact. In my opinion, their “interpretation” was a stretch. I am certain Thomas Jefferson knew exactly what meant using the word “Congress.”

See, the value of that "two beers a week" recommendation becomes immediately apparent.

Personally, I have NEVER publicly made a math mistake.
