1. Text: Jefferson’s phrase was a shout of triumph after a winning fight against new-world remnants of old-world ecclesiasticism. In Cantwell vs. Connecticut [81] we find a summary of that great victory in words more likely to be useful under twentieth century conditions : “The constitutional inhibition of legislation on the subject of religion has a double aspect. On the one hand, it forestalls compulsion by law of the acceptance of any creed or the practice of any form of worship. Freedom of conscience and freedom to adhere to such religious organization or form of worship as the individual may choose cannot be restricted by law. On the other hand, it safeguards the free exercise of the chosen form of religion.” [82] Footnotes follow; the 2 cited in this excerpt are: “81. 310 U.S. 296 (1940). 82. Id. at 303; Justice Roberts for the unanimous Court.” [Not the SCOTUS Justice Roberts, it probably goes without saying!]

  1/2 At times my #genealogy research wanders from my 🌳 a bit & is rewarded. Edward Foote Waite (1860-1958), the Minneapolis 👨⚖️ who presided over my grandmother’s adoption hearings in 1915, could travel to 2024 & get back to work where he left off:
  “a tenacious fraud spotter”… committed “to juvenile justice & children’s rights”… He was awarded a🏅for outstanding civic service by The Inter-Racial Council in 1934 & the B’nai B’rith award for interracial public service in ‘46…

  1. Photo of Edward Foote Waite in 1918, wearing small frameless glasses, a three-piece suit, and a bow tie. He is clean shaven and his head is bald on top with close-cropped, mostly gray hair on the sides. His head is turned most of the way toward the camera and he wears a serious, somewhat stern expression.
