SCALIA'S DISSENT

(From McCreary County vs. American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky)

“I have relied primarily upon official acts and official proclamations of the United States or of the component branches of its Government” (pp. 11-12)

Tony missed this one:

It was during Adam's administration that the Senate ratified the Treaty of Peace and Friendship, which states in Article XI that "the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion." The Treaty of Tripoli, passed unanimously by the U.S. Senate in 1797.

“even the other letter does not disapprove public acknowledgment of God, unless one posits (what Madison.s own actions as President would contradict) that reference to God contradicts.the equality of all religious sects.” (p.12)

Buddhists would disagree.
