I agree with Prager's second recommendation. Ellison should carry both books of worship.

Do you know how this process works?

The entire incoming House members take the oath at the same time from their respective assigned seats. They are allowed to carry the Bible version of their choice or no book at all.

Did you know Republican Senator Gordon Smith from Oregon carried the Book of Mormon and the Bible when he took his oath?

I do believe CAIR should go to he!!.

Naturally, Mormons regard both books as holy scripture.

Agreed. That's why Prager's point makes no sense. The Bible is not part of this ceremony, unless a Member chooses to carry one. And the Member is free to carry any other sacred text, such as the Book of Mormon, or none at all.

I do believe CAIR should go to he!!.

Amen, brother!
