to reject those tenents and to accept the way of life that we have and clearly will swear to place our constitution above their religion, then of course they will be considered infidels and heratics. i would at least be then quite willing to support them. couldn t you replace muslim with christian and get the same reaction from most of the base? you know, the christians are doing the same thing with kim davis right now. right? they re saying this is about religious freedom. the constitution shouldn t be seen as right. the supreme court isn t always right. isn t the final law. the startling thing in all of this, is that dr. carson thinks he knows a lot about islam and why and how people adhere to it. it s clear that he doesn t have that kind of knowledge. maybe he read a briefing paper. maybe he read a book. maybe he scared himself late at night at some point. but this doesn t have anything to do with reality.
make sure we protect our nation s security and i think we can do that but i appreciate the senator s, you know he s steadfast in his position about civil liberties, which are important. our constitution shouldn t be trampled on. representative zincy, thanks very much for coming in and thanks for your service. thank you, always a pleasure woman. we ll have you back for sure. from montana. a member of the armed services committee. much more breaking news. it s coming into the situation room. stand by for new details on what s turning into a sex scandal involving the former speaker of the house of representatives, dennis hastert. we re also following new flooding as dangerous new storms move across texas and oklahoma. stay with us. you re in the situation room.
