"I've covered politics for a long, long time, but this is the first time
witchcraft has ever come into it."
-Bob Schieffer, host of
CBS' "Face the Nation", on Christine O'Donnell's candidacy for the
U.S. Senate.
Article VI, paragraph 3 of the U.S. Constitution states, "The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
The "no religious test" clause of the Constitution is pretty clear; it's the only time the word "ever" appears in the document. Which means, as strange as it may seem, that O'Donnell's "dabbling" should not be an issue in her campaign.
As far has her being an unqualified Looney Tune who appears to live in a demented reality of her own creation... well, have at it.
And thanks, Delaware Republicans, for giving the Democrats the senate seat in November.
