Neither the trappings of robes, nor temples of stone, nor a fixed liturgy, nor an extensive literature or history is required to meet the test of beliefs cognizable under the Constitution as religious. So far as our law is concerned, one person's religious beliefs held for one day are presumptively entitled to the same protection as the beliefs of millions which have been shared for thousands of years.

Had Jefferson's works been edited by some pious churchman who would have expunged or modified his radical sentiments; or had his works been suppressed after they were published, as some desired, the clergy might with less fear of exposure claim that their author was a Christian. But while his writings are accessible to the public, it adds nothing to their reputation for candor to make the claims respecting his belief which many of them do; for these writings clearly prove that he was not a Christian, but a Freethinker.

States are required to spend their incentive payments on Child Welfare programs. Family Preservation and Reunification services have a federal cap so the only area left in which to spend the excess of funds is on creating more terminations and adoptions. It stands to reason that states would use the money to create more adoptions so that they will be entitled to a hefty bonus check again next year. Incentive payments were supposed to move "unadoptable" children out of foster care and into permanent homes. Yet two years after passing, the number of children in foster care has greatly increased. While adoptions have also increased, they have not been enough to counteract the rising foster care rates. The socalled "unadoptable" children remain in foster care while infant and toddler adoptions increase. In short, states are taking more young children from families needlessly in order to raise their adoption numbers and "get paid".
Rising adoption numbers have created a false illusion of success when in reality, there are more "unadoptable" children in foster care today than there were two years ago, prior to the passing of this law. We've all heard about the adoption incentive payments states receive under the Adoption and Safe Families Act for each child that is adopted out. But exactly how do they work? What must states do in order to earn these payments? And, what do states do with the money?
In general, states earn $4,000 for each child that is adopted from foster care and an additional $2,000 for each "special needs" child. These pay ments are capped at $20,000,000 per state, which equals 5,000 adoptions. In order for states to be eligible to earn incentive payments, they must increase the number of adoptions each year. If adoptions for the fiscal year are less than the average of the last three years, the state gets nothing. Further, states only receive incentive payments on the portion of adoptions that exceeds the average of the previous three years. Example: the average number of adoptions for the previous three years is 1,000; the number of adoptions for this year is 1,200; the state only receives incentive payments for 200 adoptions. In order for states to take full advantage of this gold mine, they must increase the number of adoptions by 5,000 each year.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of citizens and one of the noblest characteristics of the late Revolution. The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much ... to forget it

It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be to-morrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?
