We start with first principles. The Constitution creates a Federal Government of enumerated powers.

The laws will not be silent in time of war but they'll speak with a somewhat different voice.

The Equal Rights Amendment would "turn holy wedlock into holy deadlock."

It is impossible to build sound constitutional doctrine upon a mistaken understanding of Constitutional history... The establishment clause has been expressly freighted with Jefferson's misleading metaphor for nearly forty years... There is simply no historical foundation for the proposition that the framers intended to build a wall of separation... The recent court decisions are in no way based on either the language or intent of the framers.

The 'wall of separation between church and state' is a metaphor based on bad history, a metaphor which has proved useless as a guide to judging. It should be frankly and explicitly abandoned.

The Constitution requires that Congress treat similarly situated persons similarly, not that it engages in gestures of superficial equality.

Perhaps you should say there should be mandatory retirement even of members of the court, members of the federal judiciary. I'm sure there can be questions about whether one does as good work when you get into your - you know, I'm 67.
