Explain Justice Scalia's view on the relationship between religion and public morality, particularly at the state level, and how it corresponds with the 14th Amendment. Additionally, comment on the political strategy of voting Republican for President.
Justice Scalia believed in a democracy where religious power could be used to define public morality, mostly at the state level. He had a puny view of the 14th Amendment, which protects us from the tyranny of a moral or Catholic majority. Scalia is gone and I doubt Gorsuch will replace him in that view. But even then, Roberts and Alito will not, so the whole strategy of voting Republican for President, no matter how flawed, is a fool's errand and Chuput does not like being called a fool.
