Let’s see how fast she fails to uphold the Constitution.

Ah, all the signs of no talent and no morals.

Must be of the D-word persuation.

And - of course - a bimbo.

(Bimbo: See “Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Chelsea, and just about any D-word female.)

If Sinema is an Atheist, she is a member of a faith community.

We have so many Representative who have sworn on the Bible and still violate their oaths what does it matter? If someone does not believe in or have the fear of God in them it does not matter if they swear on the Bible or a Penthouse magazine!

When one votes for someone with such a name, like Barack, this is what you get....a POS.

The newly elected representative for Arizona’s 9th district swore her oath of office on a copy of the Constitution instead.

John Quincy Adams took his Presidential Oath of Office with his hand on a law book.

Why would you apply for a job and the FIRST OFFICIAL thing you do is not in standing of what the rules are?

Like Rush used to say....You wanted a McDonalds franchise and the first thing you did was want to do was make it vegetarian.
If your idea is so good and so many people want it that way, START your own business and do what pleases YOU, don’t use MY name to further your business when you want nothing to do with the way I operate.....

Well, something like that and if Rush didn’t say it, I just did, so I guess I would be guilty of the same thing...<:

Will a Buddhist, Muslim or Hindu congressperson be expected to swear an oath on a Bible?

What about if they have to testify in a court of law?

Just asking.

I think it takes far more “faith” to believe that God doesn’t exist.

Now if she’ll just uphold the intent of the Constitution a copy of which she placed her hand upon for swearing in then things will be fine. JMO.

It may not be perfect but if she has as much respect for the constitution as most folks do for the bible, it could be worse.

You cannot have freedom from religion, as that would necessarily limit my first amendment rights.

Ok, flame me if you wish, but there is an understanding about this that should be considered. If you don't believe the bible in the first place, what good would it do to swear against it?

On the other hand, I have a funny story about that very thing.

My Grandmother was called into court on various occasions as a state witness. she was a child welfare worker for several decades and saw some pretty awful stuff. But at any rate, she ended up in court as a witness on frequent cases.
Now, being a very strict Southern Baptist, my Grandmother never like the words they said to her... "do you swear to tell the truth etc..". It was actually funny because every singe time, she refused and when asked why she would simply state "I don't swear, especially with my hand on the Bible". She always got a pass and it never stopped her from testifying, just a funny story I thought I'd share. Some of the judges even got a chuckle out of it once in a while so I am told.

anyway, if you ever want to get off-topic again, just ping me

Since there is NO religious test allowed, I think I would prefer her and the other 434 plus 100 plus 9 plus 1 to place their hands on and swear by the New York Times rather than the Bible or the Constitution, since they will not support and probably will attempt to subvert both.

that all Americans deserve both “freedom of religion and freedom from religion.”

Welcome to the world of the Impossible. Another daddy's girl who hated growing up under rules and just wanted to be a bad girl, so now she hates all religion.

I dont have a problem with what she did.

But if you dont believe in God, what is the point of swearing an oath.

If there is no extra human enforcement mechanism?
