------"so help me God"

Finally something happened to inspire me to add a few words to this blog.

Today I spent time listening too and watching the beginning Senate confirmation hearings for Sam Alito to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court

Just after the Senators had given their opening remarks and as Mr. alito was about to sit down and begin his opening remarks--he was stopped in his tracks by the Senator in charge of the proceedings. Why? Well because the oath of truth had not been given to Mr. Alito.

With all the warnings I had just been given by some Senate Democrats concerning seperation of church and state, not a peep of protest did I hear when these words were given while Sam Alito stood with his right hand raised.

"DO YOU PROMISE TO TELL THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH SO HELP YOU---"GOD"

Yes, before Sam Alito could testify at all he had to swear to tell the truth with the assistance of "GOD"

How is that Yodi for a twist to todays events?
