Justice Scalia Must Recuse Himself From All Church-State Cases Due to Bias
Sign Now
According to the Jerusalem Post, "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, saying it has always supported religion and the courts should not try to change that."
The articles continues with Scalia saying ""The founding fathers never used the phrase 'separation of church and state,'", arguing that rigid separation of religion and state as in Europe, for example would be bad for America".
It is unfortunate to note how Scalia's faith has blinded him to our nation's history, especially considering he's a high court justice.
That fact is Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802 clearly stating, "the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state."
Any justice who shows as much bias towards any position as Scalia has clearly demonstrated on this issue should recuse himself/herself from any such cases that come before the court. Therefore we, as US Citizens, must demand that Justice Scalia recuse himself from any future Church-State cases.
