Catholic Pillow Fight watches a Wall Come Tumbling Down!

Tony Miller over at Catholic Pillow Fight discovers that the 6th Circuit US Court of Appeals has rendered a Foolish decision!

The First Amendment to the US Constitution "does not demand a wall of separation between church and state," a federal court has ruled.

In a surprising decision this week, the 6th Circuit US Court of Appeals approved the display of the Ten Commandments in a Kentucky county. In writing the decision for a unanimous court, Just Richard Suhrheinrich rejected the arguments of lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union (ALCU), which protested the display. The judge wrote: "The ACLU makes repeated reference to the 'separation of church and state.' This extra-constitutional construct has grown tiresome."

The phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear anywhere in the US Constitution, the judge observed. He added that American history "is replete with governmental acknowledgment and in some cases, accommodation of religion."

Excellent! Judges that shed the Judiciarium and actually rule on the law according to the constitution: what a concept! The Reasonable Absolute Individualists must be rending their garments right now. Oh, if only I could have seen the lead ACLU lawyer's face when Judge Suhrheinrich delivered the Court's unanimous decision! I'm already laughing myself out of my chair.

What a terrific early Christmas present! Keep laughing, Fools! Keep laughing!
