Justice Scalia apparently doesn't like people suing for separation of church and state. [View all]
Considering he's a theocratic "Catholic," I'm not surprised.
Responding to questions following a lecture on Christian virtue and economics, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said the standing to sue the government for violating the separation of church and state without having one’s free exercise rights violated represents “the greatest miscarriage of constitutional justice” from the court during his tenure. Scalia was speaking at the Lanier Theological Library in Houston on Friday.
The Houston Chronicle has a transcript of the exchange.
Q: What is the greatest miscarriage of constitutional justice during your tenure?
A: “Oh, there are many candidates. … The most disreputable area of our law is the establishment clause. (Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion.) … A violation of the establishment clause that does not affect someone’s free exercise – there is no reason why you should have standing.
