[edit] Separation of church and state?

This article states that the legality of Liberman Clauses might be questionable given the US Constitution's Establishment Clause (enshrining the separation of church and state). I'm wondering how this could be. I'm not an expert on ketubot or anything, but if the Liberman Clause requires that the divorcing couple see a rabbinic court, how does that run afoul with the Establishment Clause? Is the rabbinic court an arm of the state or federal courts in the country? Has any legislature vested power in them? If the answer to both of these questions is no, I'm confused as to how this could be a potential issue and for accuracy's sake, the incorrect portion should be deleted.Ronnotronald 18:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Who's Lieberman

Could someone add a bit clarifying who Lieberman was? The article never provides any information about him or her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rkstafford (talk • contribs) 22:19, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
