I think legislators need to be sworn in on the constittution and not a bible.

After listening to some crap on IPR today, I am thoroughly convinced that our public officials should no longer be sworn in on any religious object. Put their hands on a copy of the constitution for the ceremony. But make sure they read it through first.

What were you listening to on IPR? I missed it.

2. I doubt they'd pay any more attention to the words within

the Constitution than they do the ones in the Bible.

I think they should let the legislator choose.

3. Well, Steve King tried to help me better understand the constitution yesterday.

Thankfully, I ignored him or I would have ended up like the rest of the people there...
