??? Folks:? Please let's focus on technical legal 
discussions of the questions of the law of government and religion.? If 
someone wants to tie these questions to Torcaso v. Watkins, or for that matter 
to other legal principles, that's great.? But discussions at this level of 
abstraction, with no tie to concrete legal matters, is not helpful on the 
list.

Are they to be judges 
  only of "the facts" or also "the law"? And if not "the law," sez who? What is 
  a juror to do if he believes law is unjust -- un-Godly, 
  un-Constitutional?
