Even if all governmental bodies are restricted from making a law respecting the establishment of a religion, this does not restrict any other entity from making such a law, and originally the restriction on Congress was intended to reserve the right to the states, but that has since been violated by the extension of the First Amendment to the states as well.
It is the 14
th. Amendment to the Constitution, ratified by the peoples of the United States, that extends the restriction to protect all of us from any level of government imposing religious oppression.
The justices are just plain wrong and have violated the whole spirit of the amendment.
To say the the justices have violated the spirit of the 1
st. Amendment is just another silly statement showing a willfull ignorance of both the Constitution and our legal and political system. It was not the courts that promugated that protection but the peoples of the United States. It was the Congress that proposed the 14
th. Amendment, that voted and approved it overwhelmingly, and the peoples of the individual states that then ratified it. Nor is this something new or recent as the 14
th. Amendment was finally ratified in 1868.
