Dear Editor:
I believe a key question to ask any judicial candidate is whether man’s law is superior to God’s law. I argue that the concept of the separation of church and state as discussed by Jefferson and not expressly found in the Constitution is merely the separation of congregations of people constituting an individual church from the state.
In other words, a particular church should not be in charge of a particular state. In other words, we would not have a situation where there was a church of the U.S. as there was a Church of England. None of our founders discussed actually separating God and state. Are the inalienable rights as found in our founding documents subject to change by the whims of well-manipulated and poorly informed people through the democratic process?
