On the recordJune 4, 1998
The legal decisions say that if a school board wants to have a school prayer, they are prohibited from doing so. Mr. Speaker, I say to the Members, the judges in America do not govern, they interpret the Constitution. They interpret the law. They do that only. The people of the United States govern. When they see fit to change a constitutional mandate that has been interpreted counter to the wishes of the American people, it is up to the people and the Congress only to make that decision. I will say this, the gentleman is certainly more knowledgeable on all these decisions, but here is what I am saying. All those decisions the gentleman cited all add up to one thing: We do not allow for school prayer. I am saying that we should. That is what I do support.
