HARTFORD, Conn. — Religion has no place in post offices run by churches and other private contractors, a federal judge has ruled, citing the constitutional separation of church and state.
U.S. District Judge Dominic J. Squatrito, in a case involving a church-run post office in Manchester, ordered the Postal Service to notify the nearly 5,200 facilities run by contractors that they cannot promote religion through pamphlets, displays or any other materials.
He also told the agency to monitor those offices, which are distinguishable from government-run facilities and employ workers who are not Postal Service employees, to make sure they comply with his ruling.
Postal officials said they could not immediately comment on the ruling, which is dated April 18.

WHERE IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION IS THERE A CLAUSE OR ANYTHING THAT MENTIONS "SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE"?
$100 to the person who can show where there is a "Separation of church and state" in the US Consitution. Ok, let's make it $200. Or $300.
There is no such "constitutional separation of church and state". It is something liberal and anti-Christian and anti-American judges like this one have created. The hard left in the US has put this "clause" and tell people there is such a thing, so people believe it.
The only place that ever has mentioned "separation of church and state" is a private letter that Thomas Jefferson sent to a Baptist church he attended. That is hardly what anyone would call a "constitutional clause".
That goes to how you how disrespectful liberals are to the Constitution. They don't believe in it at all. They don't believe in the BIll opf Rights either... oh wait they only believe in the 1st Ammnd so they can spew anti-US hate all day long. The rest of the Constitution is nothing more than some "old paper that can be used as toilet paper" to radical liberal judges like this moron judge in Manchester.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Religious displays are considered by some to be the "establishment of religion". I disagree with them, but I also disagree with you. Anti-American? Please.
