1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,760
Well, here's what the Senate's been up to.

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:03,280
The state capitol today.

3
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:06,720
Senators moved several bills out of the state
affairs committee.

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,320
Bills focus on public school employees' right
to pray while

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,160
working, displaying the Ten Commandments in
public school classrooms.

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,440
This is such a waste of time.

7
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,240
Look, we've been over this.

8
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:18,880
The Ten Commandments in the Classroom is
blatantly unconstitutional, especially

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,160
in this bill here that it says it has to

10
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,520
be displayed in a conspicuous location inside
public schools, which

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:24,880
are government buildings.

12
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,200
And the First Amendment, and the first
sentence says that

13
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,880
the government shall make no law respecting
establishment of any

14
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,800
religion, despite the uh author's claim that
it's somehow what

15
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,240
our founding fathers wanted.

16
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,640
No, the first statement in the first sentence
of the

17
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,320
First Amendment says otherwise.

18
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,240
And to top that off, nothing I just said
actually

19
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,840
matters because according to the Texas
Constitution, there should not

20
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,720
be legislation on subjects other than those
designated by the

21
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,280
governor.

22
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,800
So, yeah, that's your update.

23
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,160
That's what the Senate's been up to.

24
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:55,840
Just wasting time.
