The Constitution was based on the Common Law and I refer O'Reilly to this quote from a left-wing, militant liberal America-hater named Thomas Jefferson: "Christianity is not part of the Common Law."
The Ten Commandments thing is bullshit. Anyone who says our laws are based on the Ten Commandments is either completely ignorant of the law, completely ignorant of the Commandments, or both. There are only two Commandments that are part of the law -- thou shalt not kill and thou shalt not steal. And those laws are in every country and predate Christianity.
Also, the Christmas tree is a pagan display that was adopted by the Catholic church to convert pagans to Christianity.
That "lawyer" (assuming she even is actually a lawyer, as Fox has a habit of putting on "experts" who aren't experts in anything other than bullshit) is full of it as well. Equating non-Christians to the KKK? Someone should also tell her that the Easter eggs and all that stuff were also from paganism.

The logic O'Reilly uses is so illogical.
