Religion and the New Supreme Court by John Yoo and James C. Phillips

Religion and the New Supreme Court by John Yoo and James C. Phillips
Editor’s Note: The following is the fifth in a series of articles in which Mr. Yoo and Mr. Phillips will lay out a course of constitutional restoration, pointing out areas where the Supreme Court has driven the Constitution off its rails and the ways the current Court can put it back on track. The first entry is available here, the second here, the third here, and the fourth here.
In short, to the extent the establishment clause is viewed as hostile to religion and the free-exercise clause as solicitous of religion, the First Amendment is at war with itself. And that makes little sense historically or logically.
Brilliant addition to a Constitutional series on restoring the revered document to its original meaning.
