Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
From YouTube:
With the entire world watching on live TV, the Democratic National Committed railroads its own delegates over God & Jerusalem. DNC asked for a late amendment to the platform. Ted Strickland read the amendment, lots of cheers.. then Antonio Villaraigosa asked for a vote, needing 2/3rds to affirm. And he asked for Yeas.. and it was pretty loud. Then he asked for Nays and it was MUCH louder. He froze. Then we went.. umm.. maybe I need to read the amendment again. Asked people to vote again.. and at least 50% of the voters responded NAY. He turn turned to someone who ran onto the stage, said something about “we can’t do that”.. then asked them to vote again. Again, more then 50% (by volume) voted NAY.. and then he just turned and said, with 2/3rds of the members voting AYE, the amendment passed. And the place boomed in boos.
