It doesn't matter whether I can covince you or not ... the words in the Constitution are quite specific. You can be "convinced" by them ... or not ... but they are what they are.
And where did I say that the states can ignore amendments? Establishing a religion would be concurring with the first amendment ... not ignoring it. The Constitution guarantees freedom "of" religion ... not freedom "from" religion.
It's the lefties who love to ignore the Constitution ... "interpreting" things which aren't there ... and creating "penumbras" which don't exist.
