RE: Steemit Libertarians, is this a violation of separation of church & state?

in #news7 years ago

Uhhhhhh.... no. My point about the federal bill of rights still holds true. You specifically asked if the bill violated the establishment clause of the Constitution. I answered - it doesn’t.

If it violates the state constitution of West Virginia, that’s great but it’s a separate issue and not what you asked in the original post.

That said, I tried to make it fairly clear that I believe this kind of thing is a bad idea and doesn’t work. I’m glad it’s unconstitutional in WV, and even if it weren’t, I would still be opposed to it for a variety of reasons.
