Apropos of the recent exchange on original intent in the First Amendment is this interesting analysis at a recent lecture at the UVA Law School.
"The nation’s founders included the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to protect and promote the church’s inculcation of public virtue, rather than to protect the federal government from the influence of religion, said Judge Michael W. McConnell at the Oct. 27 Meador Lecture on Law and Religion."
