“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. . . .

The recent court decisions are in no way based on either the language or the intent of the framers.”
William H. Rehnquist
