“Separation of Church and State” is never stated in the Constitution.
“Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
Taxpayer-funded school choice vouchers in no way establishes a preference of one religion over another, IMO. Denying a school choice voucher to a religious school, it could be argued, is preventing the free exercise of one’s religion.

There is. It is called Impeachment and it is in the Constitution.

Sonia needs to bone up. “The wall of separation between church and state” was not envisioned by the founders. It was part of a letter from Jefferson reassuring church officials of their freedom. It has been abused by lefties since the language was adopted by the Court in the 19th century.
SoCalCindy
Exactly. That’s one of the things that really bothers me. I did a paper and speech on that in college. Needless to say it triggered a lot of my fellow students. lol

spot on!

Says the unqualified diversity hire that got every job or position or school paid for by playing the gay, minority, woman card. She isn’t qualified to run a fruit stand let alone be on the bench. Remember when she said that her rulings will be based on emotion and not the law? Activists have no business on the bench.

F Soto and the donkey she road in on!
Mrs. Patriot
What a picture that suggests.
Constitutionalist
Perhaps she can point out where in the Constitution this separation exists. The concept actually comes from a letter penned by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptist Association of Connecticut in 1802. This separation is to prevent the federal government from interfering with religion in a state (See First Amendment). His belief was that religion is between a man and his God.
A person in her position knows better. She is working as a political activist.

The abortion leaker has not been found yet. Is that because it might be one of the liberal justices? Maybe the Justice who is retiring this month? Occam’s Razor: the simplest explaination is ususally the correct one.

Remember — Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan can all easily find the right to an abortion, and the separation of Church and State IN the Constitution (where neither object actually exists), yet are totally incapable of finding anywhere in the Constitution that the People have the right to keep and bear arms (note today’s ruling from the Court regarding New York).
The Liberal justices live in the Liberal Dream world, where there is no such thing as fact-based reality.

Since she’s the most hysterical about Roe V Wade being overturned….it’s pretty safe to say she has first hand knowledge who leaked that letter.
I still can’t believe this woman actually said this.: JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR: Evidence of fetal pain is not proof of life.

I “respectfully” disagree. I think the less than “honorable” John Roberts leaked it. His handlers control his every action, and it has nothing to do with his daughter’s being adopted. Whatever goat he screwed was a prize animal and whoever has the pics is the leader of the courts.
Just my 2 cents! I would offer a formerly 5 cent opinion, but inflation is really kicking our ass. Sorry.

It was never a separation between church and state. It’s freedom from a one state religion. Sonia is a dolt. I find this disconcerting that a person with this basic lack of understanding is placed on the highest court of the land next to God’s.

She’s a diversity hire – what do you expect?

Then she should QUIT! Resign! Go home! Give it up! But instead, she’ll stay, bitch & moan!

By the way, are any pro-abortion demonstrators threatening Sotomayor, or is that only allowed to happen for the conservative justices. I haven’t heard much from her about the illegal protests in front of her colleague’s homes. Perhaps she approves it, and has given the protesters tacit approval. Kind of a “wink and a nod” that it’s OK to intimidate.

I can’t believe this women even went to law school, and whichever one it was needs to be defunded.Secretly, I bet even the other justices wondered how she graduated. A reasonably intelligent high school student understands “shall not establish….”

This “Justice” should perhaps go back and carefully READ the Constitution. She might be surprised to find that there IS NO such thing as “separation of Church and State” anywhere within the document she is supposed to uphold.
The First Amendment (which perhaps Sotomayer does not favor) simply prevents the STATE from establishing an officially recognized religion. (Kind of why the pilgrims left England to begin with all those years ago).
That’s about as far as the “separation” goes.
The United States was founded by deeply religious people, and the basis of our country was defined using Judeo-Christian principles. But those same people understood well what happens if the Government sanctions a state religion.
Go back to law school, or give up your job as Justice.
