Nebraska Senator Taunts Colleagues Over Religious Bill

Nebraska lawmakers have passed a bill lifting the ban on wearing religious garb in a public classroom.
But not until overcoming one last filibuster by Senator Ernie Chambers of Omaha.
Chambers tells colleagues he’s unimpressed that the original law might have had a suspect origin. . .

Chambers taunted his colleagues prior to the final vote…invoking the biblical passage that if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you could move mountains. . .

Nebraska is one of the last states to have such a ban. The bill now moves to the governor.
