Why is it so hard for some to understand the constitution?

Most seem to pick whatever is in the constitution that they think supports their particular position and ignore the rest.

After all didn't our president refer to the constitution as "just a damned piece of paper" ?
imho that alone should have gotten him impeached.

A frightening number Americans are unclear on the concept of their own constitution. Especially that pesky first amendment. A recent poll found that only 55% of Americans believe that freedom to worship extends to all religions and sects. 65% believe -- erroneously -- that the framers intended this to be a Christian nation.

If freedom to worship didn't extend to all religions, then how could you have the freedom to worship?

Are people really this dumb?

God does not have a hand in the Iraq war since no Joos are involved.

I guess they should feel lucky that they weren't sent to the House of Wisdom:

It's a good ol' fashioned re-education camp, American style.

BTW - Darla, this one is actually an infringement on the 1st Amendment, unlike a time limit agreed to beforehand.
