Christine O’Donnell Is Stupid: Doesn’t Know The First Amendment

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.

When Coons responded that the First Amendment bars Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion, O’Donnell asked: ‘You’re telling me that’s in the First Amendment?’”

Look at the way the AP bends over backwards for her: “appearing to disagree or not know that the First Amendment bars the government from establishing religion.” She didn’t appear. She just simply didn’t know. They don’t know. They don’t understand. They are ignorant and stupid and the media needs to stop carrying water for them, once and for all.
