Give Christine a few years in office to practice and she’ll be just fine. Is there a Constitutional tutor available, anyone?
Oh, there you are. Sally, what grade are you in?
“Tenth grade, YankeeJim.”
Perfect, please help Ms. O’Donnell with her homework.
“O'Donnell questions separation of church, state
By BEN EVANS
The Associated Press
Tuesday, October 19, 2010; 12:54 PMWILMINGTON, Del. -- Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware on Tuesday questioned whether the U.S. Constitution calls for a separation of church and state, appearing to disagree or not know that the First Amendment bars the government from establishing religion.
The exchange came in a debate before an audience of legal scholars and law students at Widener University Law School, as O'Donnell criticized Democratic nominee Chris Coons' position that teaching creationism in public school would violate the First Amendment by promoting religious doctrine.
Coons said private and parochial schools are free to teach creationism but that "religious doctrine doesn't belong in our public schools."
"Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?" O'Donnell asked him.”

Rahm Emanuel, “When you think about the First Amendment…you think it’s highly overrated.” The First Amendment isn't limited to Religion. It includes - infringing on the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. Democrats think these are highly over rated.

Two stupids make it twice as bad. IMO, criteria for qualification and suitability should be discussed by organizations like the League of Women Voters.

Coons is either ignorant, a liar or just plain stupid. There is not a word about separation of church & state in the Constitution. Read the damned thing.
