More fallout from yesterday’s 5-4 Supreme Court ruling concerning the Ten Commandments. The ruling restricted the display of the commandments in some public settings. Yesterday we heard from tenth district Congressman Patrick McHenry, who vehemently opposed the ruling. This morning 5th district Congresswoman Virginia Foxx took to the House floor. Said Foxx, and we quote… (PIC VO) “The five justices who voted for this ruling displayed extreme hypocrisy. As they outlawed this practice, they sat directly underneath our Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments are found more often in public buildings than in individual churches, demonstrating that Americans from all faiths and walks of life recognize their impact on our American laws and culture. Yesterday’s ruling sets a dangerous precedent. What is next? Are we going to remove references to God from our pledge, remove the Bible from our court proceedings, and so forth?”
