It's a stupid rule, nothing I can do about it though.

I am not a US citizen, so nothing I can do about it. If this comes up in Dutch politics, I will be the first one on the barricades.

I understand, I'm just providing information. -_^

Of course, and I'm glad you do. I still find it ridiculous that these kinds of rules ever got entered into the lawbooks anyway.

Thanks for that post E it just goes to show that even in today's modern day and age we are still shrouded in a cloud of ignorance from our past. I see two things here actually; one is that it seems like Mr. Bothwells opponent whoever he/she may be is using this as a political ploy to have him removed so that he/she may obtain office. Second, this is a clear cut case of discrimination which to my knowledge is illegal in these United States.

The sad part is that despite this or any similar attempt being shot down by the US Constitution and the Supreme Court, these people will never amend that section in the state constitution because a lot of them think it's just.

You beat me to it. Sorry I posted a similar thread. Please disregard

That is true meatball they will most likely keep that law on their constitution since it appears that the state itself is a "god fearing" state where christians are a majority.
