Contracts to import labor were forbidden by the U.S. Code, and specifically by "An act to prohibit the importation and migration of foreigners and aliens under contract or agreement to perform labor in the United States, its territories, and the District of Columbia." The court held that a minister was not a foreign laborer under the statute even though he was a foreigner.....

....This case is cited most often for its determination of how legislative intent can be determined. Justice Antonin Scalia has denounced the Holy Trinity decision as the "prototypical case" in which a judge follow the intent of the legislature rather than the text of the statute, and thus as being in opposition to his judicial philosophy of textualism....."

And here is a complete copy of the entirety of that court case findings...

Feel free to point out where SCOTUS said anything about your God being in State Constitutions.

The Revisionist Junk History you people spew never fails to amaze me.
Do you believe that because it has taken you several days of "browsing" LEFT WING blog nonsense just looking for a little toe hole to insert your foot and hold the secular door open and keep "history actual" from slamming it on your foot, that this "childish" display of materialistic IDEOLOGY will do away with the first 200 years of American History? Does anyone really care what the constitutionally "illegal" modern courts have to say? They have forsaken the "standard" upon which the entire constitution and rule of law of this nation was drafted upon.....THE TRANSCENDING AUTHORITY OF THE CREATOR. It indeed is hard to have any power of judicial review on any constitutional intent when the "original" source from which these words were drafted (Blackstone's theory on law) is totally ignored. Thus, any decision of opinion made by the US Supreme Court is "moot" once this reference source was first ignored as it had 'clearly' established precedence previous, thus the entire system is "flawed" due to the apparent attempt to "evolve" away from the original intent made by the founders of this nation and proven very easily by HISTORY ACTUAL, and tradition of example such as placing the hand upon the bible, or the example of TRUSTING GOD presented on our currency. Nothing that you have presented "disproves" the actual history of this nation and as such YOU ARE STILL A SECULAR LIAR and proven as such. And "feel free" to crack open an actual HISTORY BOOK....one that does not have the address of the American Communist Lawyer Union's seal of approval PASTED upon its cover. BD
