Yeah, they look at effect as applied, such as impact. Nothing you cited backs up your claim that they look at what the legislatures said or intended to determine whether the law is unconstutional. Do you even know what you meant by your claim?
Try harder.
BTW, you claimed they only looked at the law and not impact. The context of our discussion was...
Doesn't matter what he intended, if, the actual order does not violate the constitution, Dick.
Then why do they look at impact? Because as I said in my initial response...
Sorry, you are wrong. There are several cases that show that facial neutrality alone is not sufficient.
Hialeah City vs Church of Bobalu (or whatever)
Walz v Tax Commission NYC
Gillette v. United States
Now you are trying to retroactively change the context to only focus on whether things said can go to intent or be considered and you are wrong on that (see the Arlington case), as well. But my initial point is that facially neutral does not cut it and consideration of the impact proves that.
