(6,165 posts)21. Where in the U.S. CONSTITUTION does it say that the bible
has any influence or standing for a sworn U.S. official to state "Romans 13: obey the laws of the Government because God has ordained the government for his purposes"
AG Session is an idiot! And if ANYONE should know what his job is as AG it should be the AG.
1. HE IS NOT THE PRESIDENTS ATTORNEY!
2. He is the American Citizen (The Peoples) attorney
3. He was not given the job to preach scripture to the people.
4. He needs to respect the established relationship of church an state as it is spelled out in the First Amendment.
The first amendment to the US Constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" The two parts, known as the "establishment clause" and the "free exercise clause" respectively, form the textual basis for the Supreme Court's interpretations
5. Finally he needs to resign if he can understand the simple principle.
Don't you just love these GOP folks who make the Second Amendment say more that it does and ignore the clear First Amendment. Both to make their personal / religious beliefs have the force of law. Falsely bending both 1 & 2 for delusional believes of a few. In stark contrast to the realistic views of the majority.

If he and I were alone in a room with a Bible, I would beat him to death with it.
