I wouldn't give him that much credit. He's said repeatedly what SCOTUS says or does not say is THE LAW, no questions allowed, and the people had just better suck it up and knuckle under, or go to jail. I'm amazed he isn't advocating Moore be tossed in the slammer for daring to defy his judicial interpretations RE: the 10 Commandments Monument thing alone.
Your love of hyperbole makes your posts sound foolish. What the SCOTUS says IS the law, but that doesn't mean it cannot be changed by act of the legislature. A few years ago, for example, the Court significantly narrowed the scope of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Congress quickly acted to overturn the Court's decision. This is how the system works, and works all the time.
But Congress has never acted in any significant way to overrule the SCOTUS's interpretation of the Establishment Clause. One cannot just look at the words of the clause and argue with a straight face that there is no "separation of church and state" in the Constitution because those exact words aren't used. The Court has the authority to construe the Constitution and, if you take the time to read cases like Everson, goes to great lengths to ground its ruling in the intent of the Founders.
Part of being an American is showing respect for how the Constitutional system of checks and balances works. It's a brilliant system, and I find it inspiring that, 200-plus years later since the Constitution was adopted, the Founders' aversion to the tyranny of religion and their determination to create a secular Republic still shines through bright and clear. As I said in my initial post on this thread, thank God for our Constitutional Republic and its wall of separation between church and state!
