Careful There, Scalia

Justice Scalia, in recent remarks at an Orthodox synagogue, seems to be advocating State support of religion.  While I do not think religion should be driven underground, it definitely should not be mandated by the State.

“Scalia in shul: State must back religion"

Bad idea.

Some additional links noting this.

  1. Apparently, Nobody reads much past the headline.

    First Paragraph:
    <blockquote>"US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia used an appearance at an Orthodox synagogue in New York to assail the notion that the US government should maintain a neutral stance toward religion"</blockquote>

    The confusion, apparently, stems from his view that the seperation referred to :<blockquote> “is not neutrality between religiousness and nonreligiousness; it is between denominations of religion.” </blockquote>
