Justice Antonin Scalia believes government should favor religion, and is apparently willing to abandon the separation of church and state. Scalia told the Jewish daily newspaper Hamodia, the “Daily Newspaper of Torah Jewry”, it was never U.S. constitutional, social or legal tradition to exclude religion from the public sphere. He noted that the Supreme Court recently allowed the Ten Commandments on the grounds of the Texas State Legislature.

    • "Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
      - letter to Peter Carr, Aug. 10, 1787

      "I have recently been examining all the known superstitions of the world, and do not find in our particular superstition (Christianity) one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology."

      Thomas Jefferson

    • This is a very disturbing. Our country was not founded by radical Christians as many would have us believe. They were deists. They believed in separation from is church and state! It scares me that this moron has so much power. Jesus Christ!
