rivendellroseNo, Christine O'Donnell (the Tea Party senate candidate for Delaware) really haven't got the slightest fricking clue what's in the Constitution.
Quoted from the Washington Post description of the situation:
"Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?" O'Donnell asked [her Democratic opponent, Chris Coons].
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?"
If you listen to the audio or watch the video, you will notice that she sounds utterly flabbergasted at this revelation. I can only imagine she was thinking "That isn't what Glenn Beck told me!"
If you want to be in the Senate, please at least demonstrate a vague awareness of what that Constitution that you will be swearing to uphold actually says, dumbass.
