That Cooper is a real wet blanket. From the "related articles" links on the Times-Free Press site:

He should probably save time and just post a blanket "Whatever you're doing, stop it, because it's unconstitutional" statement.

Everyone knows the <i>Real</i>* Constitution only has one clause in the First Amendment, which prohibits anyone from ever interfering with the <b>God-given</b> right to practice my religion all up in your uterus.

<i>Isn’t it time to save the South from itself, and/or to save America from the South? These studies and the current political zeitgeist remind us that it’s the religious South that continues to hold the country in some kind of 1860s time warp. While the more secular America is trying to deal intelligently with real problems — taxes, spending, environment, healthcare, education, inequality, and poverty – the South is rooted in religious fanaticism, ancient grudges and demagoguery.</i> <a href="http://www.salon.com/2014/0..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.salon.com/2014/03/18/the_destructive_m...">http://www.salon.com/2014/0...
