Today's lie:
"The Constitution requires "separation of church and state", restricting government and private citizens from mixing religion and governmental function.
That's a lie. The 1st Amendment states the following:
"Congress shall make no law repescting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
The 1st Amendment is a restriction on CONGRESS -- not anybody else. It DOES NOT demand a 'separation of church and state'. It only demands that Congress establish no religion officially by law, and that Congress does not restrict the practice of religion in any way.

There's no lie here. The supreme court has interpreted the amendment over the years to essentially mean "Separation of Church and State."
Just like the Board of Directors of Lakeside Association need to interpret the bylaws to rule on the issue of Slymie's transfer fee.
