U.S. Constitution Title: Christine O'Donnell Asks Where Constitution Calls For Separation Of Church, State
WASHINGTON -- Republican Senate nominee Christine O'Donnell of Delaware is questioning whether the U.S. Constitution prohibits the government from establishing religion. In a debate at Widener University Law School, O'Donnell criticized Democratic nominee Chris Coons' position that teaching creationism in public school would violate the First Amendment by promoting religious doctrine. O'Donnell asked where the Constitution calls for the separation of church and state. 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?" Delaware Senate The exchange Tuesday aired on radio station WDEL generated a buzz among law professors and students in the audience.

Nowhere in the Constitution does it say a thing about 'seperation of church and state'. The history, and the revisionist history, related to this...theory, is facinating and revealing. It was from a USSC minority ruling, designed to keep a specific religion from attaining elective office, in short.
#24. To: Badeye (#1) Pssst. She's right. Huh? here's what she said:
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?" I think this one is pretty clear;
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
#42. To: go65 (#24) When Coons responded that the First Amendment bars Congress from making laws respecting the establishment of religion Coons didn't say that. He said: Government shall make no establishment of religion And no, it's not in the Constitution.
#44. To: no gnu taxes (#42) Government shall make no establishment of religion It is in the Constitution: Look up FREEDOM OF RELIGION for details. LMFAO

See the problems Israel's having? They've got a piece of cake compared to what will happen here. 8D
#62. To: mcgowanjm (#60) They can't make any laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion. That means if a judge wants to hang the 10 commandments on the wall they can't do squat about it.
#67. To: A K A Stone (#62) They can't make any laws prohibiting the free exercise of religion. That means if a judge wants to hang the 10 commandments on the wall they can't do squat about it.
