laughs at you just like the audience laughed at her @2:58 and @7:20

if you have trouble understanding, listen to other candidate explain
Then you agree with AlphaFrog. Save your laughter for another time.

ETA: And read some of the comments on that youtube clip while you're at it.

No, the Constitution is meaningless without it's interpretation. Even the most conservative justices interpret the Constitution, you have to.

It is the law. While those words are not enumerated in the Constitution, the SCOTUS has established the establishment clause to mean that. Saying otherwise makes you sound ignorant and uninformed (and correctly so).

The End.

You are young and relatively new to this whole law thing so you have your own interpretation of AlphaFrog's post. However, the interpretation of the Constitution and the construction of laws is exactly what it is. These are constructed truths that hold weight until there is a reason for change (which includes challenges to the interpretation of the Constitution), which is why there are legal debates, certain court cases, SCOTUS speaking on such matters, and so forth.

The separation of church and state (whether it truly exists and what it means) is an ongoing debate for a reason.
