"This extra-constitutional construct has grown tiresome"

Great stuff from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in countering the allergic reaction of extremists to anything connected to religion in the public square.

"[T]he ACLU makes repeated reference to 'the separation of church and state.' This extra-constitutional construct has grown tiresome. The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state."

The case is ACLU of Kentucky v. Mercer County, Kentucky. The full text of the decision is available here.
