+Phil Rolen I'm glad they showed it. Just makes me more convinced guys like Cruz are not who I want as President.

+pete lane It's the fact that Cruz himself is so overly religious that bothers me.

+Jim NuziardThe supreme court's judgement stands whether you like it or not. It's not something you can argue unless you want to open yourself to endless ridicule. Just admit the point. No harm in that. I won't hold it against you. This is a place to learn things. I learn things everyday and I admit factual errors when I make them.And I, perhaps in my bias against religion, am truly creeped out by Ted's overly religious beliefs and his politics. It's no secret a lot of people don't like him. I'm one of them.

+Jim NuziardObviously you know little of how our government works, at least not that part of it.

+Tim King If you were really a strong believer in our Constitution, then you would know that "separation of church and state" is a myth.I don't need to read the Huffington Post; I've read the Constitution, and our Founding Fathers.The original phrase comes from a letter written by President Thomas Jefferson in 1081. When the phrase is put into its proper context, it means that the government cannot interfere with religion; not the other way around.But, the Constitution was never meant to be a stagnant document that was rigidly adherent to the words on the page? Then why would those words be there?

+Jim NuziardAnd let me help you out with the key phrase here:while the term “separation of Church and State” may never appear in the constitution itself, the (Supreme) Court ruling in the case of Everson v. Board of Education stated “the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect ‘a wall of separation between Church and State.’”That's why I don't like Cruz. There are several videos of him preaching to christians all about how God and America are so interconnected. Makes me not want him for a president. And yes, i find it creepy someone so overly religious would have the power to influence our country in such a high position. I know it's not his only cause in politics, but it's the one I find most distasteful.

+Jim NuziardIt's my opinion. I am a strong believer in our constitution and the separation of state and church. Cruz mixes his religion too much with his politics, in my opinion.And in case you want to dispute our constitution: (exeprt from a Huffington post article)"Perhaps nothing is more important to American politics than a well-reasoned debate. Unfortunately, far too many people are ill-informed to make such discussions possible.An excellent example of this comes from the responses to an article I wrote examining the concerns of conservative Christians over Tennessee schools’ teaching the five pillars of Islam. While there were a number of topics that readers could have discussed, by far the most outrage centered on my statements regarding the separation of church and state. Comments included “Clearly, someone hasn’t read the Constitution, because there is no such thing as “separation of church and state” in the US Constitution.” “Where exactly in the U.S. Constitution does it address “separation of church and state?” and “Simply put, nowhere in the First Amendment does the phrase ‘separation of church and state’ exist.”It seems that to some people, if the words don’t explicitly appear in the constitution then the idea they refer to isn’t constitutionally guaranteed. Viewing it in these simplistic terms is meant to dismiss the entire argument; as if every decision based on the separation of church and state is somehow invalid because the term separation of church and state doesn’t appear in the constitution.Of course the problems with this assertion are many. First and most basic is the fact that the Supreme Court is the ultimate interpreter of federal constitutional law. This means that while the term “separation of Church and State” may never appear in the constitution itself, the Court ruling in the case of Everson v. Board of Education stated “the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect ‘a wall of separation between Church and State.’”A quarter century later, the case of Lemon v. Kurtzman further defined this separation when it established the Lemon Test to determine if a law violates the establishment clause of the First Amendment. Every ruling since has confirmed that, in the view of the highest court in the land the Constitution created a separation of church and state.Having said that, the separation of church and state is hardly the first unwritten concept that is protected by the constitution. In the 1973 case of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court established a women’s constitutional right to have an abortion despite the word abortion never appearing in the constitution. In the 2015 case of Obergefell v. Hodges the Supreme Court established that laws against same sex marriage were unconstitutional despite the word marriage never appearing in the constitution. In the 1963 case of Gideon v. Wainwright the Supreme Court established that the constitution guarantees the right to an attorney despite the words public defender never appearing in the constitution. In the 2010 case of McDonald v. Chicago the Supreme Court established that the second amendment right to bear arms included the right to bear arms for self-defense despite the words self-defense never appearing in the constitution.It should also be noted that of the 112 Supreme Court Justices, none of them has been an atheist. In fact 92 pecent of them were Christian. What rationale would these justices have for making laws that would create a legal prejudice towards their system of beliefs, especially if the separation of Church and State is a misinterpretation?The reality is that the constitution was never meant to be a stagnant document that was rigidly adherent to the words on the page. As Thomas Jefferson said “The constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist, and shape into any form they please.” Over the past 200 years the Supreme Court has shaped the constitution to contain a clear separation of church and state that protects every religion equally. If only those who argue against this separation could see how they benefit from it instead of inappropriately interpreting it as an attack on Christianity."//www.huffingtonpost.com/dale-hansen/yes-there-is-a-constituti_b_8171550.html

+Tim King If you're "creeped out", I'd say you're the one with the problem.Why can't you just ignore it?Why does it bother you?Why can't you be respectful of someone else's belief?Consider these quotes from a few of America's pillars:If you are not governed by God, you will be ruled by tyrants” – William Penn, 1681“It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists but by Christians, not on religion but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” - Patrick Henry, 1776“It is impossible to govern the world without God and the Bible. Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, our religion and morality are the indispensable supporters. Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that our national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.”President George Washington in his farewell address, September 17th, 1796“Without God, there is no virtue, because there's no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we're mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”-Ronald Reagan Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast Republican National Convention Dallas, Texas, Aug. 23, 1984

+Jim Nuziard It makes me creeped out because I don't want an overly religious president. Got a problem with that?

+Woundedhealer Faith an element? religion should not enter into politics in my opinion. I definitely do not want an overly religious president.

+Matthew Braybrook Exactly.

+Courage1791 Hebert Politics and religion are two of the worst topics. definitely better to separate them.
