Is it your disappointment about the recent Ohio ruling against school vouchers that brings you to to point out that there is no Constitutional principle of separation of church and state? I know that the conservative right makes this argument, but it does not seem to be based on much. Perhaps we could discuss the issue in greater detail after New Year's Eve is over.

Incidentally, just because the exact statement "Separation of church and state" is not found in the Constitution, that does not mean that this was not the intent of our country's founders.

The purpose of the Supreme Court is to interpret the Constitution, Michael. What exactly is it that you think is the proper function of courts, anyway?
