So I'll ask again: Do you seriously think that the correct interpretation of the constitutional amendment's idea of a "test" within the context of the amendment includes the voter's choice of who to vote for as such as test?

As Carson himself misses, whether it is "muslim" or "test", context is kind of important in understanding the meaning of things...
