Not really a novel reading, but a highly inconvenient one



Well, IM exaggerates what’s up.

Here is what was put before the NC legislature.

SECTION 1. The North Carolina General Assembly asserts that the Constitution of the United States of America does not prohibit states or their subsidiaries from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.

That is true and no one would have thought otherwise before the Civil War.

Why think so after?

Go ahead.

Read every amendment passed since then.

IM relies on fictitious history and a gross misreading of the 14th Amendment in general that have become dogmas of the liberal story, much like their silly interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.

His reading of the privileges and immunities clause in particular was rejected by the Supremes in the Slaughter House cases.

So far as I know, the only Supreme ever to have agreed to repudiate Slaughter House and accept such a reading of that clause was Clarence Thomas, though lately liberals have launched an outburst of legal and mass propaganda in its favor.

His next to last paragraph pretty much lets the cat out of the bag that incorporation is and has been for long nothing but an invention of courts, and mostly liberal courts at that.

SECTION 2. The North Carolina General Assembly does not recognize federal court rulings which prohibit and otherwise regulate the State of North Carolina, its public schools, or any political subdivisions of the State from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.

The North Carolina General Assembly has no authority to do any such thing.

Lord knows why they might think they have.
