So what we have, that we know for sure, is at least 42 closet sympathizers, without the cojones to even post a "yea" vote for something they probably thought was a good thing.
Congressman Mike Pence told the media, I voted present because I read somewhere that Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion.
Now we know of at least one dumbass in this gaggle of fools, who, rather than vote his conscience and perhaps his convictions, simply posted a "present", and therefore took the safe way out.
We are surrounded by fools...the majority of them are occupying space in our Congress.
ONE LONE CONGRESSMAN voting NO to this legislation would’ve been authorizing a fatwa for his own assassination by the Religion of Peace TM.
There is strength in numbers; weakness in the face of international terrorism.
