You didn't get far enough. Coons brings it up again, and quotes the first ammendment (no law establshing, etc. etc.) she says, "That's in the first amendment?" Start at 7:07 in the clip JW linked to.

I'm sure he would have if he were asked. However, they weren't the topic.

O'donnel did later ask him and he was unable to answer, after which he said something like, "hey, isn't the moderator supposed to be asking the question."
