The MSM has done nothing but try to destroy this woman, and of course everybody buys into it...
and for somebody to say it is just Evolution, that is just silly.
The last thing we can trust is science, and scientist. "they say they are working for us, but what they really want is to take over the world".
It clearly means that Congress cannot establish or promote a specific religion which is a far cry from the total separation of church and state. It should be pretty clear.
“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”
The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prohibits the establishment of a national religion by the Congress or the preference of one religion over another, non-religion over religion, or religion over non-religion. Originally, the First Amendment only applied to the federal government. Subsequently, McCollum v. Board of Education, 333 U.S. 203 (1948) incorporated certain select provisions. However, it was not until the middle to late twentieth century that the Supreme Court began to interpret the Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses in such a manner as to restrict the promotion of religion by state governments. In the Board of Education of Kiryas Joel Village School District v. Grumet, 512 U.S. 687 (1994), Justice David Souter, writing for the majority, concluded that "government should not prefer one religion to another, or religion to irreligion."[1]
The term is an offshoot of the original phrase, "wall of separation between church and state," as written in Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists Association in 1802

They voted for Obama because the eight year smear campaign against Bush worked so well.

And this would be why we are where we are.
Vote for the lesser of two evils and you're stilled *snip*; so try voting for someone who isn't evil for once.

look I get the fact she says stupid stuff... but she was dead on, about the church and state question?
there are many different aspect to creationism, it's not just the book of Genesis. Intelligent design can mean so many things, and for somebody to say it is just Evolution, that is just silly.
