"I hope the Supreme Court will finally read the Constitution and see there's no such thing, or no mention, of separation of church and state in the Constitution" - Tom DeLay, March 1, 2005.

I'd love to email Tom DuhLay and enlighten him.

The whole Seperation of Church and State was actually a letter written by Thomas Jefferson.. it is never mentioned in the Constitution. The 1st amendment has what is known as the 'establishment' clause... which has become incredibly warped in this time. it's gotten to the point where any city or county displaying anything religious is now "establishing" a religion. Look at LA.. the city had to remove the cross from the official seal because the ACLU threatened to sue.

That was huge here in LA. It was actually the county seal, not the city seal. It ticked me off, because the cross merely represented the history of the Spanish missions in the region. They did not sue, however, to remove the Goddess Calliope from the seal.
