Minnesota Supreme Court Challenger Focuses On Religion As Basis of Government

The Minnesota Independent last week reported on the campaign of Tim Tingelstad for a seat on the Minnesota Supreme Court. Challenging incumbent Justice Paul Anderson, Tingelstad's website is filled with appeals to restore religion as the foundation of government. For example, the section of his website captioned Church & State says in part: "Through misinterpretation, the Constitution has been used as an instrument to remove God and his Word from our public lives.... Today's concept of 'separation of church and state' does not come from the Constitution, nor does it come from a historically accurate review of American history."
