Re: “Should Berkley restore crèche to City Hall?”
Richard Thompson argues that the First Amendment to our Constitution does not demand a wall of separation between church and state and cites legal rulings to make his point. I find it ironic and disquieting that current legal professionals would try to confuse the public about what the writers of our Constitution actually meant when they wrote the words to the First Amendment.
Thomas Jefferson, one of the authors of the Constitution, in a reply to a query by some Baptist Ministers explained to them clearly that the First Amendment was in effect, “building a wall of separation between church and state”.
Are Mr. Thompson and his like minded cronies saying that the authors of the First Amendment don’t know what the words they wrote mean but he and his pals do?
