US Constitution, Canon Law and Freedom to Pray

How you doing? I'm good, Senator James. It's all right. Let him talk. Let him talk.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Listen a second. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I voted Biden. I'm a Democrat. I love all you.

This guy seems great. He really does. I, I like this guy.

I fucking like this guy. The problem is his book says something different than my book.

We can't hear you. It's all right. Wait. So let me say what he said.

Wait, wait, Mr. James, let me say what he said.

He said, he said he likes Democrats. He voted for Joe Biden, but his problem is that his book says something different than my book.

Here's the thing about it, though. Mr. James, look, I'm, I'm grateful that you're here. Thank you.

Folks do want to, to, to get to the conversation. I'm gonna tell you this.

I'm just gonna tell you this. The book that matters for all of us- Yeah ... is the US Constitution.

Yeah!

Because when it comes right down to it, my friend, I just wanna tell you, when it comes right down to it- I'm with you ... at the end of the day- This is good ... I'm gonna swear an oath to that US Constitution.

I agree. Yeah. You're a Christian. Do, do you fo-do you follow canon law?

Vaguely. Vaguely? I mean, I- No, no, no. Let me finish what I'm saying.

You vaguely follow canon law. No, I mean, like, I, I vaguely am aware of it. Speak up.

You're vaguely aware of canon law. I'm aware.

I would recommend, as a Christian, that you go read canon law because it is supposed to pattern your life choices as a Christian.

Here's the thing about it. Because of the US Constitution, you have the right to live according to canon law.

Great. And also, and also- The problem is that doesn't seem to be the conversation ... because of the US Constitution- That matters ...

The problem is that doesn't seem to be the conversation ... because of the US Constitution- That matters ... you don't get to enforce canon law on anyone else.

All we're asking, all we're asking is that in the- these United States- I voted- ... you pray as you choose to pray.

I pray as I choose to pray. Some folks may not pray at all, and that's their choice.

USA. USA. USA. But to make the argument that America is not big enough for all of us to pray as we choose to pray or not pray at all seems to me a disrespect to the Constitution.

USA. So thanks for coming, my friend. Thank you.

USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA. USA.
