I think the term is "chutzpah"
I reckon we Christians should be saying prayers of gratitude that it is only a resolution with no teeth as compared to a bill that would force a mandate on the entire publik educashun sistem to study the torah for 7-1/2 years. Given the greatness of the publik educashun sistem in this country, it would take the 12 years of elementary, middle, and high schools to accomplish the mandated goal. And then again, at the same time, we should be stoning, to use the Biblical sense of justice, these sonsabitches for something like this when they wouldn't sign their frickin names as a co-sponsor of legislation to force congress to list the enumerating clause of the Constitution into all their bills. And for all the assholes who are reading this and wanna do a TIPS snitch report, please do so. Just be forewarned: Stoning did not always result in death...reference the life of Paul of Tarsus.
