A reader pointed this out from session this week.
What do you see Senator Rusch doing with his left hand that no one else is doing?
It might be a habit from his days as a judge, but the Senator has placed his left hand on the Bible for swearing his oath of office.
Statewide officials usually do this at the time they are sworn in, but as a matter of custom it’s kind of hit and miss with the legislature.
Should this become a custom for the state legislators as well? What do you think?
Class Act.
100% echo that.
Art Rusch is a class act.
It is up to him, and I respect him for it. I think Mr. Nelson had his hand on a copy of Herman Melville’s great novel when I oathed in.
Good for him. Should it be required? Of course not.
Art Rusch is amazing. But who cares about this? Separation of church and state, let’s just leave it at that. We are a secular state.
