Well, not exactly. The SCOTUS is known to look at the writings of the
Framers and legislation they were involved in at the state level and so on
in making rulings. E.g., in the recent 2nd Amendment case both sides
referred to such extra-Constitutional evidence in trying to illustrate what
the Framers meant.

Whatever religious beliefs the Framers had, they chose to leave
them out of the Constitution. That they chose to leave their
religion out of their politics for their most important political
work, should serve as an inspiration to today's politicians.


Amen to that. People can believe whatever they please, doesn't mean I want
the more extreme versions moving into the White House. Oops, too late.
