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. Subscribe to *Tea Party On Parade*

The Feds might make it a condition of receiving the money, but that has nothing to with the Constitutionally of the matter. Except that it might be construed as such conditions by the Feds are unconstitutional as making an end run around the legislative duties of Congress.

Or it could be construed as favoring one religion over another.

Yes. I hate to disappoint you,but the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base is NOT a US state. It is leased land belonging to Cuba.

Oh yes, and I'm sure if/when the lease expires and Cuba refuses to renew, the US will just pack up and leave, eh? Sure, you betcha! What about Iraq and Afghanistan... are they leased too?

Yeah,the poor downtrodden fundie Muslim masses,caught setting bombs or carrying arms against US troops. Duh poor bayb-bees!

What part of "innocent until proven guilty" confuses you? Has it been proven that all of them captured were engaged in those activities?

B.E. can copy and paste but when will liberals learn how?

ANYONE.

Copy and paste the section in the US Constitution that states there is a Separation of Church and State.

Here's one way to Copy and Paste :

Find the text. That's right. You have to find the text!

If you have remapped your mouse and or K.B. then you will need to set back to default for these instructions to work.

Highlight the text you wish to copy by left clicking on your mouse as you drag over the text then release the mouse button. The text will now be seen as being highlighted.

To Copy: Use Ctrl and the letter "C" on your key board.

Go to the comments field/section here at L.F. where you wish to paste the copied text.

Use your mouse and left click in the field to get a blinking cursor to make the field active or what we web site builders call focused.

Then use Ctrl and the letter "V" to paste.

Since Obama has taken over the trials have been stopped.

He refuses them due process while keeping the base open.

Bagram - According to a new report from an independent think-tank group, former detainees of an alleged secret prison in Afghanistan claim they were abused and tortured.

The United States military has repeatedly denied these accusations. Digital Journal reported in February that : Afghans claimed that the Bagram United States Air Force is President Barack Obama’s Guantanamo Bay detention center because of alleged torture,
nightly raids and the large number of health hazards.

Saying there is no separation of church and state, is like saying there is no separation of powers in the US constitution. Both are paraphrases for what the constitution says.

Any conservatives going to argue the constitution doesn't have a separation of powers?

The Constitution gives the Federal government no power over religious matters, and specifically bans establishment and bans the infringement of religious freedom.

To the critics who say there is no federal separation of church and state, where does the Constitution give the government power to influence the church? Where does it give the government the power to regulation a persons religious beliefs?

What are you going to do argue the commerce clause?

Saying there is no separation of church and state,

If there is separation of church and state, then the Federal governmemt should have no say so in what religion is or is not taught in local schools.

Of course, we know that is notxthe case. Idiots like Coons don't realize they are not arguing for separation; they are arguing against it.
