You have no idea what you are talking about.....their words on the matter have already been posted.....especially Franklin's.....but keep lying...then go to confession...
Okay, so what is your perception of what the founders wanted in regard to religion and the government ? What, today, does not gel with your perception of what they foresaw?
The Founders wanted no state religion,that is a religion created by the government with the power to tax in order to support it....as happened in England, ....they also wanted the government to stay out of the business of the various religions. Forcing religious people to bake cakes against their religious beliefs is exactly what they were trying to prevent.....
Also.....churches should be free to exercise their political opinions without losing their tax exempt status......government was to stay out of religion.....not religion out of government.
So why did laws requiring religious people to go against their religious beliefs pass Constitutional scrutiny?
Same reason laws that have since been repealed and judicial decisions that have since been overturned passed: because politicians are a bunch of sleazy, weaseling lawyers.
So they were " mistaken" when they said Public Accommodation did not violate the Constitution? They ruled on it in the 60s.
Yes, they were mistaken - no quotation marks needed - and I have no idea what you think the significance of the timing of the ruling is.
