Show me where I claimed it was. I meant that in relationship to the SCOTUS cases in relationship as to how the judges squared that with the First Amendment. Sorry if you misunderstood my post.  

The word "clause" is also not physically written in the First Amendment in ink either. Jefferson's idea of "Separation of Church and State" and "establishment clause" were still argued in court cases referring to the First Amendment.

Your second sentence of the OP implies that you believe the phrase " Seperation of Church and State is in the First Ammendment.


Piss poor sentence construction.

Yeah, it kinda was. His general point was fair, though. ‘...make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof’ is a pretty reasonable approximation of the spirit behind separating church and state.
