Your complete lack of credibility shows as well. That's a wiki entry, hardly a "liberal blog". And I provided a link to the original court document as well.
Also, Blackstone was an English Jurist, his book was concerning English Common Law, and not US Law. And Brewer, the son of missionaries who graduated from a parochial college, was quoting an earlier OPINON, that of a local magistrate who found that the defendant could NOT be charged with blashemy in the US, and was instead charged with inciting a riot, fined, and released. And THAT, young man, is from memory. I could, of course, search for the specific court case, if you would like, as I DID ABOVE to provide you with an accurate entry. Of course you could then claim I was taking "several days of browsing liberal blogs" to your heart's content.
I love how you keep quoting the current motto too, the replacement shoved into place in the 1950's, and not our original Founder created one. Do you even have any idea what that original Motto was? I would be more than happy to educate you on that as well, and also our original Pledge of Allegience if you would like.

As stated, it does not matter WHAT MODERN "SCOTUS" opinion you quote from, that opinion does not do away with the actual facts of history. As far as presenting anything from this particular case of Holy Trinity Church v. U.S., United States Supreme Court {143 U.S. 457, 1892}, It is more than superfluous the way you have tried to misdirect away from an "opinion" presented from the Court and in particular one declared in "written" opinion by Justice Brewer. It certainly is "irrelative" just what the case was about or what was ultimately decided...the point being made was that Mr. Brewer was of the opinion, and correctly so, that the United States was indeed a Christian Nation as declared by his own words...."These and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a CHRISTIAN NATION". {Associate Justice to the United States Supreme Court, David Josiah Brewer, 1/6/1890 - 3/28/1910} THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION.....the language cannot be presented any clearer nor distinct. History confirmed -- Attempted Secular deflection -- found misdirecting and lying.
The footprints of "Blackstone's theory of Law" in US Law are undeniable. Several are already mentioned PREVIOUS, and as far as State Constitutions and how they declared "God" within their writings, why not present the Constitutions themselves instead of depending upon any "opinion" of SCOTUS.....here are but a Few "State Constitutions" that indeed make up the UNTIED STATES OF AMERICA.
