The best example of the Supreme Court interoperating new law comes right out of recent headlines. In February 2005, the Supreme Court handed down a ruling which made it illegal for the execution of sixteen and seventeen year olds either federally or by the states. Just over a decade earlier the same court, the same nine men and women, ruled to uphold the execution of minor adults. What changed? Society. In just over ten years it became unthinkable for society to execute its own children and the Supreme Court found that such action would amount to “cruel and unusual punishment,” which is prohibited under the 8th Amendment.

Separation of Church and State is Not a Lie or a Myth

Separation is the will of our founding fathers, without the guidance of whom this nation, this great American experiment in democracy, would have been lost many years ago. In order to go forward we must shed ourselves of the weights and chains which restrict us, and never we look back to gaze upon them. The ability of our society to have progressed this far has been based on a government that is its self free of govern of outside religious intuitions; we must not look back, not now, not ever.

The “news” programs, such as Fox News, other networks, publications, politicians, and anyone else who states a contrary claim are willfully, purposefully, and knowingly perpetrating a fraud against the American people. In other words, they’re lying and they know it. That is how all such tales and myths about America as a “Christian Nation” should be interpreted by all who hear them.
