2. I thought her invocation was wonderful.

Literally.

If someone wishes to believe that the wonders of nature were created by God, or a god, that's his right; but what this asscarrot didn't have a right to do was interject his personal belief into someone else's statement. She has the same right to express awe for the natural universe without invoking God as he does to do otherwise. I wonder what would happen if, following an invocation by Rep. Kavanaugh in which he mentions God, Rep. Salman had stood up and objected to his mention of God because it was contrary to her beliefs? He can't have it his way without acknowledging that she can have it her way.
