The view that "the government derives its authority from God" is a belief, not a "fact" (as Scalia reportedly said in the newspaper account I read). It's certainly not verifiable (right Hank?).

I sure as shit ain't getting into this chestnut with you- why don't you go back to old threads and argue this with Fluffy or not me or whoever engaged you back- you're a mod- you can still edit to make snappy new comebacks!
Meanwhile, I don't see how "In God We Trust" or "God save this Court" is okay but a dumb statute is different. Hell you might walk into court not knowing what the statute is, in Court you will hear "God save." Throw it all out or relax. I don't care.
I post now only to clarify my position on your junk science posts. I posit that if Scalia was a scientist, and constitutional analysis a science, your ilk would not question "the government derives its authority from God." That you do question what he said takes it out of the range of what I complained about. You don't need to verify to listen to a theory, but don't tell me its true unless you question.
You can question Scalia- fine- go forward with your commentary. You cannot question your scientists? Then STFU.
