Our Constitution...in bronze

I posted on McCain's willful ignorance of the Establishment Clause, but because of innate laziness I hadn't seen the full quote.

A recent poll found that 55 percent of Americans believe the U.S. Constitution establishes a Christian nation. What do you think?

I would probably have to say yes, that the Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation. But I say that in the broadest sense. The lady that holds her lamp beside the golden door doesn't say, "I only welcome Christians." We welcome the poor, the tired, the huddled masses. But when they come here they know that they are in a nation founded on Christian principles.

So, does John McCain equate Emma Lazarus's words on the Statue of Liberty and the Bill of Rights?
