US Presidency
1984

It's when you try to use that to undermine the integrity of private political, or private religious faith and the use of the state is where, for the most personal decisions in American life, that's where I draw the line. Ms. Walters. Thank you. Now, Mr. President, rebuttal. The President. Yes, it's very difficult to rebut, because I find myself in so much agreement with Mr. Mondale. I, too, want that wall that is in the Constitution of separation of church and state to remain there. The only attacks I have made are on people who apparently would break away at that wall from the government side, using the government, using the power of the courts and so forth to hinder that part of the Constitution that says the government shall not only not establish a religion, it shall not inhibit the practice of religion. And they have been using these things to have government, through court orders, inhibit the practice of religion.
