So, this pandering pissant is demanding that everyone be required to use a bible when swearing an oath to support the Constitution.
Actually, he is careful with his wording. He does not say that everyone must use the Bible for swearing in. Here is an excerpt from his letter:
Goode writes:
"..Thank you for your recent communication. When I raise my hand to take the oath on Swearing In Day, I will have the Bible in my other hand. I do not subscribe to using the Koran in any way. The Muslim Representative from Minnesota was elected by the voters of that district and if American citizens don't wake up and adopt the Virgil Goode position on immigration there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran."
Notice he describes what HE uses, (the Bible) and that HE does not subscribe to using the Koran. Goode has been through the swearing in ceremony and is fully aware that in the private ceremony, elected officials can use whatever they want. He is not advocating that the Koran be excluded from those ceremonies, he just doesn't like having Muslims in congress.
