There is no first amendment separation of church and state. People have heard liberals say this so much they think it is a fact.
The first amendment says...
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
ESTABLISHMENT of religion was INTERPRETED by judges beyond the words themselves,, and that is why we have such a mess with words like In God we trust on our money, Under God, etc..
I am NOT a religious person.. but I do think that our founding fathers were smart enough to know how to say wall of separation if they intended to mean more than Establishment of religion.
O Donnell is right.. Separation of church and state is not in the constitution and she was RIDICULED for saying it.. and they were absolutely WRONG.
