William Rehnquist Quotes
It is impossible to build sound constitutional doctrine upon a mistaken understanding of Constitutional history...

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.
