Roy Blunt: “It is hard to think of anything else that 98 percent of all Americans would believe in that we would have to eradicate…”

“It is hard to think of anything else that 98 percent of all Americans would believe in that we would have to eradicate from our discussion, from our symbols, from our public places of assembly. In fact, I am not sure there is anything else that 98 percent of all Americans believe in. We try to focus our public discourse and our public displays under these court rulings as if the 2 percent were the 98 percent; that we all have to believe and act like we do not believe in any being greater than ourselves; that faith is not part of not only communities, but part of individual lives. It is just not there. I do not think there is another example of anything that is so universally held by Americans, that is so universally rejected by the Supreme Court over the last 30 years; that was so universally accepted by the Supreme Court in the 175 years that were closer to the founders who wrote the Constitution and added that Bill of Rights.”
