That's what he's referring to. When I say constitution, the bill of rights is always included. His interpretation is only one way to take Jefferson's phrase.

Congress shall make no law (STATE) respecting an establishment of RELIGION, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of SPEECH, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Doesn't that suggest that the government has no right to ban gay marriage? I know the federal government isn't, but what gives state government the right to do whatever they want? I don't see why the Constitution has so little to do with state law.

Off topic, but there you go.

"Under God" is unconstitutional.

Great first post!! My fiance thinks it should be in brackets as optional, with "god" referring to all gods for mono and polytheistic religions. What do you think?
