“didn’t understand what was going on”
I meant mostly that she didn’t understand what was going on in the room. The audience giggled. That’s a huge signal that she needed to clarify to her audience.
Yep. I was left with the impression that she was caught off guard a bit because she thought everyone else in the room understood the 1st Amendment as it pertains to the establishment of a state sponsored religion as well as she understands it. Obviously they didn't and for it to be a group of law students? Scary. I could have understood that audience reaction if it were a group of ACORN thugs, but law students should know better. It's no wonder that our legal system is such a mess.....
