A senator, a representive and even the President are perfectly entitled to state something like this, a group of politicians are perfectly entitled to state something like this.

This is the same as saying We will pass income redistrubtion legislation because it is within our beliefs that the government knows best

"We won't pass abortion laws because it offends our christian values."

ect. ect.
Again a perfectly acceptable statement coming from individuals or a group of individuals in politics.

And not just on uber liberal issues like that either, they are just the most readily obvious. It becomes a problem for me when the basis for their ACTIONS in office are religious.

*edit*
The constitution does not forbid this - again you can disagree with the politians statements, you can protest their statements because you disagree with them - but once again its within the intent of the Constitution. People are still allowed to base their politicial opinion on their personal beliefs be it religious, or otherwise.

Don, Don, you irrepressable bum. Murder has been unnacceptable in society since long before the bible came about.
And again it goes to the point about the constitution that you are missing.
