NOT THE SEVERABILITY as determined by asdjutication, but severability AS WRITTEN. To me its quite obvious that The severability is assumed by the separate clauses, each dealing with a separate compartment of thye 1st amendment. You were stating that if I was a supporter of the 1st amendment "establishment clause" my "Non support" of the Westboro Baptist Church decision was from the same cloth.
NO, the severability of the separate master clauses were cleverly so worded(and punctuated) by the framers because the 1st amendment covers a big kettle of different fish, none of freedoms need necessarily overlap.

Are you confusing severability with enumeration? Perhaps legal eagle Wandel here can help - meanwhile excuse me while I duck to avoid crossfire Smile

@spendius,

If enough people are awarded degrees, diplomas, majors and minors it is obvious the average IQ pool will approach 100. Which is harmless in itself but not when the degrees, diplomas, majors and minors go to their heads and they think they are all brilliant and use their conclusion to start telling us all what to do.

According to IQ testers on volunteers paying £400 to be tested the average IQ of the punters is above 140. Which is nearly Herman Khan territory. Living next door.

@spendius,

I was just wondering if you might happen to know what the test results are for those who paid twice the amount of what you quoted?

@cicerone imposter,

That post was vintage spendius. First, he proposed that education raises the IQ. Well, it does, but not in the manner nor the extent to which spendius proposes. Second, his post was a total non sequitur, which most of his posts are. Third, none of the sentences connected with each other.

????WTH??? You put people on ignore because you already know everything they could possibly say is not worth reading as it disagrees with you. You must be very clever. And I have things backwards ????

Ignore is simply this forum's attempt to pretend we are all married and if we do"not nice things" then "they" wont talk to us. Big ******* deal!! I am amazed that people announce who they have on ignore like in the 30's people proudly announced the Jews were scum and the time to ignore them was past...it was now a time for action. Similarly, this forum has debated who and what to ban to improve IGNORE but to the credit of the majority of members it has always been still-born.

You cannot be serious - if we were all married and living in the same house the casualty rates around here would go through the roof. Better on the internet Smile

@dyslexia,

Supposedly, anyone with an IQ of 115 should be able to obtain a Ph.D. My ex-husband liked to say his IQ was 160. When our kids were in high school, they told him it was closer to 110-115, which may be why he stopped talking to them.

@High Seas,

well you may have to get a time machine, go back to meet the framers and ask about why they so cleverly DID enumerate these clauses with semicolons. THey were asserting the sverability. (PS besides, there is an actual "severability clause" in the constitution, Ill bet you cant find it.
Severability is presumed going in . throughout the constitution and is written by enumeration of the various articles, amendments , and clauses and subclauses clauses. However, the two mean very different things.

@farmerman,

True, severability is there; but I still don't see how you can simultaneously oppose teaching creationism in schools and support Alito's Westboro dissent. The 2 positions seem incompatible. Even Spendius here - not hitherto noted as a 1st Amendment expert - knows that. He supports both; I oppose both.
