Which applies to the Federal Government. In fact several states had established state religions for several years after the constitution was ratified.

We knew this was coming: Starr Wins Appeals Court Ruling By John Solomon Associated Press Writer Monday, Sept. 13, 1999; 4:20 p.m. EDT WASHINGTON –– In a victory for Kenneth Starr, a federal appeals court today overturned a judge's ruling that the independent counsel's office should face criminal contempt proceedings for an alleged leak of grand jury information in the Monica Lewinsky case. The court panel voted to strike down a ruling by U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson that appointed the Justice Department to prosecute Starr's office on the contempt charge. The appellate judges concluded that Johnson used the wrong standard for determining there was sufficient preliminary evidence of illegal leaks by Starr's office. At issue is an article in The New York Times that disclosed Starr's office had concluded that a sitting president could be indicted. Johnson concluded the disclosure violated grand jury disclosure rules. washingtonpost.com

OK, I give up. I'm gonna go to that liberal thread and try and convince them that Pope Pius IX's Index of Forbidden Books was good idea. I'll probably have better luck. BTW, thanks for speaking for me in that minor fracas we had over there. I was starting to feel a little cornered. I shouldn't have, though. Nobody refuted anything I said, they just attacked rhetorical flourishes I used. Next time I'll stick to the point and not be a wiseacre, it gives them an opening. Later
