“I thought surely this must be a mistake. I thought the Ten Commandments were to be supported or not supported in a religious context, not in the Halls of the Congress of the United States. Imagine my surprise this morning when I pulled out this and found it to be the calendar for the day. One item. No business yesterday on the floor of the House, no business today with the exception of one item; no business tomorrow with the exception of 3 congratulatory bills, congratulating people for something; no business the next day in the House. I thought maybe this is April Fool's that we are doing on the American people this week, but this is not April.”
