Just now, Rush made the same point I made in 84: she was assuming her audience knew the distinction between non-establishment and separation. Rush said, “That’s the mistake too many of us conservatives make.” Instead of explaining her point and thereby showing that Coons doesn’t even know that separation is not the same as non-establishment and that he had simply assumed that, since non-establishment is there, so too separation is there, instead of nailing that down, she responded with a skeptical “That’s in the First Amendment.”
If she had just replaced the “that’s” with “Separation” it would have helped, though to her audience and to Coons, “separation” is in there because non-establishment is in there. That’s the fallacy she needs to disabuse them of and she had an opportunity to do it and did not try.
Rush is making exactly my point.
What is being missed is the distinction between
Coons who quoted the Constitution wrong “Government”
and the real
1st Amendment which says “Congress”
There’s a difference between Government and Congress - that’s what Christine could have objected to.
Government and Congress do not mean the same thing at all.
Rush should mention that.
