Kyrsten Sinema Snubs the Bible...Gets Sworn In on Law Book

BY TYLER O'NEI

On Thursday, Vice President Mike Pence (who, as VP, swears in members of the U.S. Senate) swore in Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.). While the senator took the traditional oath to uphold the Constitution, she did not swear on a Bible, but on a law book.

Many of the incoming members of Congress took their oath on books other than the Bible, and Sinema is one of the few religiously unaffiliated national lawmakers. She is likely atheist or agnostic, perhaps "apatheist" — someone who does not care whether God exists or not. She swore on the Constitution when she first entered Congress in 2013.

New members were sworn in on a variety of religious texts.

Times have changed at the Capitol: Some of the holy books for new member’s swearing ins, including a Quran, Buddhist Sutra and Hindu Vera (and two Constitutions for the atheists)

2:28 PM - Jan 3, 2019

Incoming Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) was sworn in on Thomas Jefferson's copy of the Quran. Since this Quran is an English translation, it is not considered legitimate by most Muslims. Even so, this historical gesture made a point.

While it is traditional to take the oath of office on a Bible, it makes sense for non-Christians to swear on a document they consider religiously binding. The difficulty is, the Bible presents a uniquely humble and honest morality, and swearing on it arguably makes more sense than swearing on almost any other text, religious or irreligious.

The Pew Research Center claimed that Christians are "overrepresented" in Congress. While only 71 percent of Americans identify as Christian, 88.2 percent of Congress does. Only 0.2 percent of Congress is "unaffiliated," while 23 percent of Americans said they are not connected to a particular church or religious body. Following this line of thinking, Pew would have to argue that Jews are overrepresented, since only 2 percent of Americans identify as Jewish, but 6.4 percent of Congress does.

Congress is not meant to represent the religions of Americans, but rather their political will (and the Senate is meant to represent the will of the states). Atheists and non-religious Americans will celebrate Sinema swearing on a law book, even while many Christians look askance at it.

Today’s great headlines.

Trump Allies Rally Around Jim Webb for Next Defense Secretary

Trump allies are rallying around former Virginia Senator Jim Webb to fill the position of Defense Secretary, after the abrupt departure of retired Marine General Jim Mattis.

The support for Webb may come as somewhat of a surprise, since he is a Democrat and has been largely out of the headlines since the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, when he launched a bid for president.

However, supporters say he aligns with President Trump’s more realist worldview — something that was a problem with Mattis, a foreign policy liberalist.

“Former Navy Secretary and former Asst Sec Def @JimWebbUSA would be someone to consider seriously for SecDef. His foreign policy views line up better with @realdonaldtrump and are not Bush 3.0,” Fox News host Laura Ingraham tweeted on December 21.

9:27 AM - Dec 21, 2018

On Thursday, the New York Times reported the White House is considering Webb, citing three officials. A source also confirmed to Breitbart News that he is being considered.

The White House did not confirm any candidates, but indicated a search was underway.

“We will let you know when we have an update. No personnel announcements at this time,” spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said.

Webb, 72, is a graduate of the Naval Academy and a former Marine captain who fought in Vietnam as a Marine rifle platoon and company commander. He was awarded the Silver Star, the Navy Cross, two Bronze Stars, and two Purple Hearts.

Webb, then a Republican, served in the Reagan administration as an assistant secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs, and then secretary of the Navy. He then ran as a Democrat senator in Virginia in 2006, serving one term.

Webb has a following among libertarians and foreign policy realists in Washington. He was a critic of the invasion of Iraq, and also disagreed with former President Barack Obama’s interventions in Libya and Syria.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told Breitbart News during a conference call Wednesday that he thought the next defense secretary needs to be someone who agrees with Trump on ending unnecessary wars.

“The president deserves people who do agree with him,” Paul said. “The president campaigned on the fact that we’ve been at war for too long in too many places.”

“He’s the first president really in a lifetime who has had the ability to declare victory and say, ‘We need to come home.’ He needs a defense secretary who agrees with him and will carry out the policy, not try to stymie the policy,” he added.

However, some who know Webb are skeptical he would be a good fit. While he would have the experience for the job, they say he also has an independent streak.

“There are a lot of advantages out of that, but there is also a big danger,” said Jim Hanson, president of the Security Studies Group. “Webb’s an arrogant bastard. That doesn’t always work. [Rex] Tillerson was also an arrogant bastard.”

“Trump needs an ally. Tillerson and Mattis both didn’t agree with him on his foreign policy agenda. They were almost the opposition to Trump. He needs someone who isn’t going to fight him on things,” he added.

However, Hanson said Webb would be good for military reform. “He’s not a force deployment guy — he’s someone who is going to look at the structure of the force.”

Other names being floated to the White House include Deputy Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-TX), Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), Army Secretary Mark Esper, Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson, former Missouri Sen. Jim Talent, former Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, and retired Army Gen. Jack Keane.

James Carafano, vice president of the Heritage Foundation’s Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute who served as an adviser on the Trump transition team, also recommended that the president choose someone onboard with his agenda.

“We’ve already seen what happens when you pick someone who’s not really a team player. You can’t do that on Defense, you can’t do that on State. Maybe you can do that on some agency somewhere, but not on the two most key critical cabinet posts,” he said.

Frank Gaffney, president and CEO of the Center for Security Policy, agreed.

“The president cannot run the whole government. He has to delegate, and he has to delegate to people he trusts to run the departments the way he would run them if he could run them all,” he said.

“And if you’ve got people who have a lot of interesting skill sets, but won’t do what he wants done, it’s a formula for a disastrous administration.”
