WT: METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Supreme CourtJustice Antonin Scalia said Saturday the idea of religious neutrality is not grounded in the country’s constitutional traditions and that God has been good to the U.S. exactly because Americans honor him.
Scalia was speaking at a Catholic high school in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, Louisiana. Scalia, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986 is the court’s longest serving justice. He has consistently been one of the court’s more conservative members.
He told the audience at Archbishop Rummel High School that there is “no place” in the country’s constitutional traditions for the idea that the state must be neutral between religion and its absence.
“To tell you the truth there is no place for that in our constitutional tradition. Where did that come from?” he said. “To be sure, you can’t favor one denomination over another but can’t favor religion over non-religion?”
He also said there is “nothing wrong” with the idea of presidents and others invoking God in speeches. He said God has been good to America because Americans have honored him. more here
Oh boy; the leftists heads are going to explode.
I don’t know, do Catholic schools have safe spaces?
Trigger warnings? Whut?
Like inside the chapel?
Yes,it’s called the confessional box.Remember those?
“He said God has been good to America because Americans have honored [H]im.”
Isn’t that some sort of past tense? Some English speakers help me out, here.
He may have hit on something.
