Tea Partiers Turn Secular Constitution Into "Covenant" Only They Can Protect

From a legal perspective, there’s a case to be made that O’Donnell’s argument is inaccurate. The Constitution is a relentlessly secular document that never once mentions God or Jesus. And nothing in recent jurisprudence suggests that the past few decades of governing have been any less constitutional than the decades that preceded them. But the Tea Party’s language isn’t legal, and neither is its logic. It’s moral: right vs. wrong. What O’Donnell & Co. are really talking about is culture war.
Founding fathers were free-thinkers living in the Age of Enlightenment. O'Donnell is quasi-celebrity living in the age of Jersey Shore.
