I made a false assumption in my above comment.The scholarships are given depending on certain criteria,excluding religious affiliation,and the parents determine to which school the child will attend be it private secular or private religious.The STOS are connatural with the operations in society and provide a vital and necessary role.This is the way things should be done in society.
No taxpayer money is involved anymore than it is involved by writing off one's Sunday donation as pointed out by Dread.
If the STOS are associated with a religious denomination that is irrelevant and accidental.
This case has better standing than the Ohio case since taxpayers'money is not even involved in Arizona.In Ohio vouchers using public...

The Supreme court is just going to reverse the 9th Circuit again BUT O'Connor and Rehnquist are gone.
If the students do not wish to take religion they do not have to take the scholarship.
The secular purpose of the law is to make good citizens.Religion,as an aside,helps make for better citizens and aids in continuing the morally good life which benefits the state.
Because this is a desired good of the state, tax deductible donations are to be encouraged.
There is no entanglement between Church and State.If there is,then where is it?
If religion is advanced so much the better for the good of the state.One of the primary purposes of law is to foster religion.
The official religion of this country is Christianity...

If Clinton wasn't bad enough we now have a President that is completing his handiwork.This is an act of treason by giving away our defense secrets and making our country more and more defenseless and susceptable to attack.He is doing everything in his power to make this country less and less secure and will continue to do so at every opportunity.
If the House and Senate can win this man should be impeached and brought up on criminal charges.He has failed time and time again to faithfully execute the Law and he has failed over and over to faithfully execute the office of President.
The entire country is witness to his malignant and intentional doings.This is not at all happening by accident or chance.

Paul is right. It's a little late to strip anyone of citizenship but children born of foreign nationals or illegal immigrants are not natural born citizens and do not come under the jurisdiction of the US.

Framer or the 14th Amendment-John Bingham

"every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is,in the language of the Constitution,a natural born citizen".
If this statute merely reaffirmed the old common law rule of citizenship by birth the the condition of the parents would be entirely irrelevant.

It is absurd to think that merely by being born here one becomes a US citizen.That was never the intent and it still is not the intent.

The handling of the BP fiasco by Obama is incompetent,intended to be so, and malignant.It's the continuing saga for his power grab and the power grab of the socialists.Everything he does is well thought out and is meant to undermine the stability of this country and destroy its constitutional form of government.
Evil is not a strong enough word to describe him.He is a criminal.

There is no doubt that Obama is a muslim and his hostility towards Christianity is well demonstated.
Christianity and Islam are INCOMPATIBLE.Just as jihad is the muslim culture and mindset so is their hatred for Christianity which is seen throughout the world today.It's obvious.
This country's values are or were founded and grounded in Christian beliefs and traditions to such a degree that the culture of this country is Christian and its faith can be said to be Christian.
If this country hopes to survive it will need to return to it Christian heritage.This is the only century in the history of the world where man has eradicated God,thrown Him out of His creation,and rejected any need for Him or His existence.

Obama knows what he is doing.He is bound and determined to destroy this country.The whole thing is simply irrational and foreign to the rational mind.It is insane and intentional.What's more it is malignant.
It is incomprehensible to me how he is able to get away with it.
The states must simply resist him at every turn and refuse to have anything to do with any of his proposals which continuously spell disaster.
He is not the Governor of the States nor is he to be allowed to impose his unconstitutional dictates.
Everything about him stinks of hatred of our Constitution.
He is waging war on the American People.We need to wage war on him.
