Separation of Church and State was a "zinger" for her. She nailed him, laughed about it, and he looked like he was had.
She couldn't recall what the 14th and 16th Amendments are, so that's not very scholarly of her.
Then she reiterated that "Separation of Church and State" is not in the 1st Amendment and winked and smiled at the audience as her opponent poured himself a glass of water.
I think her point was "that doesn't mean 'separation of church and state.'"
I agree with her. Doesn't the first amendment basically say that congress cannot make a law that is pro-religion or anti-religion? Liberals have used Jefferson's letter to imply that judges cannot display the Ten Commandments in their courtroom and that Nativity Scenes cannot be displayed on public land. To me, that seems to be anti-religion and unconstitutional. What do you think?

She wasn't paying attention. She knew the answer to her question was "No, the first amendment does not mention a separation of church and state." There was nothing he could say to get himself off the hook. She knew he was busted.
That was her point (your second sentence). The first amendment has been corrupted by progressive politicians, liberal activists/lawyers, ACLU, liberal judges, etc... It has been so corrupted that these current law students (in the audience) laughed at her for interpreting it from it's traditional meaning point of view. :bigcry:
Right. Congress can not create an official church of the United States, and they can not ban a religion either. That's it.
Now, this truism has morphed to include state and local governments as well. That is not in the Constitution. Nowhere does it say that a city council can't pass an ordinance banning a certain religion within the city limits. Remember, as written, the Constitution explicitly states what Congress and the federal goverment can do, and also states anything not specifically stated falls to the jurisdiction of the states. Period.
The Founding Fathers knew what they were doing and don't require idiots (i.e. atheists and liberals) trying to interpret what they wrote. They wrote what they wrote. End of story.
