Patrick Leahy actually said...

What I am going to do is yield now to Senator Durbin, who will take the gavel for a bit, but I would note, as much as I enjoy being Chairman of Judiciary I just want to amend the U.S. Code. I am not trying to amend Genesis or any other part of the Bible.

Context

Leahy humorously clarifies his role in amending U.S. law, not religious texts.
