Well yeah, it is. "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."
If you heard the exchange...Coon said that the “separation of church and state was in the 1st amendment when he said the other lines...O’Donnell caught Coons and he tried to change the subject, this writer is being bias in how it’s being reported.
I’d like to hear the exact quote.
The leftist probably said “separation of church and state”
O’Donnell asking Coons...
“You’re telling me that’s in the First Amendment?”
seems to be referring back to her question to him about “Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?”
I could be wrong, but she appears to be challenging Coons to point to where in the first amendment the term “separation of church and state” exists.
At least that is my impression.
