“O’Donnell Mangles The Constitution, Can’t Name One Recent Court Decision She Disagrees With

In the article “O’Donnell Mangles The Constitution, Can’t Name One Recent Court Decision She Disagrees With,” Christine O’Donnell, the Republican nominee from Delaware, is having a debate with her opponent, Chris Coons. The author of the blog states that GOP candidates claim that if things like Medicare, social security, unemployment insurance, and being a member of the UN are not acceptable to the Republicans, they think it should be unconstitutional. The debate starts out talking about the 9/11 mosque that may or may not be built down by Ground Zero.  Somehow the debate ends up in O’Donnell making a fool out of herself and expressing her ignorance. On the video provided in the blog, an interviewer, also in the debate, asked O’Donnell which Supreme Court cases she disagreed with and she stated that she couldn’t come up with something off the top of her head. Basically the blogger argues that she is extremely ignorant and should not be a representative for Delaware considering the fact that she couldn’t even name Roe v. Wade, the most known Supreme Court case. The last statement that the writer makes is that the Republicans across the country continue to select people who haven’t the first idea about the Constitution.

I agree with the author of the blog to an extent. It all goes back to the fact that the public needs to be involved and informed. If our citizens were more informed they wouldn’t be electing people who shouldn’t be in office. I don’t believe that the only people who are uninformed are Republicans. I think that the political illiteracy goes both ways. I agree that Christine O’Donnell probably needs to start by reading up on the Supreme Court cases from past and present court cases.
