Heap, who voted for expulsion, said the matter "really comes down to a simple question: What do we as a body value more? The reputations of Arizona politicians or the reputation of God in the world?"

Doesn't this just...prove Hamilton's point that there should be separation of church and state? As a "body" (of congress), you should not have to worry about God.
