Christine O’Donnell First Amendment Arguments: Really, She Understands Church and State

Christine O’Donnell’s First Amendment arguments have been viral. First, she was touted as “dabbling in witchcraft” and now she’s hailed as the nut job who doesn’t know what the separation of Church and State is.

However, O’Donnell seems to suggest that the media has skewed her words. For instance, during her recent debate with Democratic opponent Chris Coons, Christine O’Donnell asked where in the Constitution were the words “Separation of Church and State.”

Everyone took that to mean that she didn’t know where it was.

She also asked her opponent to name the five freedoms guaranteed in the first amendment…and he couldn’t. O’Donnell and her team though they had a slam-dunk, when really the media was able to turn it around and make her look incompetent.

Or, on the other hand, do you think O’Donnell is trying to cover her self?

Christine O'Donnell First Amendment Confusion

Christine O'Donnell's First Amendment confusion didn't make him look any more credible to the droves of people that, like Meghan McCain, think she's a "nut job." During a Senate Debate, Christine O'Donnell expressed that she didn't know where in the constitution that separation of Church and State takes place. 


Yes, it's the First Amendment.  What little respect many had for Christine O'Donnell started to falter, although she did get some points back when Chris Coons was unable to answer what the five fundamental freedoms provided by the Bill of Rights are. 


Still yet, O'Donnell has been ousted as dabbling in witchcraft, she questions evolution, and no one really knows what she believes. Coons demanded she explain her views. Many say that Coons is a sure bet for November 2nd, but many would have said that Castle was a sure-thing for the primary.
