  21. The #FreeExercise clause prohibits the
    govt from interfering wi/the right of individuals to practice #religion, while the establishment clause prevents the govt from establishing an official religion or favoring faith over nonbelief.

    “This #Oklahoma case is the potential culmination of the Roberts court effort to cast the free-exercise clause in the starring role in our constitutional order, & offer the establishment clause only a cameo,”Driver said.

  30. #MSNBC analyst Angela-something characterized the Oklahoma law requiring teaching of the Bible in classrooms as an instance of the tension between the Establishment and Free Exercise clauses of the First Amendment.

    Er. . . what? That’s 180° wrong, and you don’t even have to be a lawyer to see it. If the law engages with Free Exercise at all (debatable), surely it’s violative — as it quite obviously is with respect to the Establishment Clause.

    In other words: the two clauses are working together against this law. That’s the opposite of “tension”.

    MSNBC, either you quoted Angela way out of context, or you need a new analyst (preferably one who took at least one con law class).
