Swearing in....

My take on it is that this is a country founded on Christian principles. The swearing in should be done with a Bible. The Muslim gentleman swearing in on a Bible is no different than any other nonChristian swearing in on a Bible, which has been going on for years. I am sure that not every member of Congress is Christian, but they all swore in on a Bible. NonChristians are sworn in on a Bible in courthouses across this country on an almost daily basis. The reason I say this is not just faith-based but also an effort to protect this country and its beginnings, our traditions, our history, etc. The more we cave in on things like this, the further we slide down the slippery slope. We need to be aware and very careful about our choices...as people seek to remove God from our public lives...and we need to be very extra careful about who or what they might seek to replace Him with. It begins very quietly and insidiously....and I also believe that there will come a day when there are many who will wish they had not been so quick to want to remove God and His influence. Just my take on it.

Oh no...the swearing police are back.
.
He got a look when Biden was making wise cracks about Justice Roberts at the swearing in. sm
I think when he is under stress he has a hard time hiding how he feels, but I think it is more a sign that he is honest about his feelings, not that he is going to act out in some crazy way.
