4. I wish I could stream both at once
I'm at work. It would be a good day to be home with the remote, going back and forth.

10. Lieberman takes oath as an independent, while Hillary carries a Bible
The public oath is taken without any Bibles, it is the private ceremony in which members can bring their Bibles to get their picture taken. Remember the flap about the Muslim congressman? Guess what? Hillary took her public oath of office while carrying a Bible on her left hand. I guess she did that in order to pander to the fundies that are disenchanted with Bush.

11. or maybe she just wanted to for personal reasons?
in this country, everybody should be free to practice his or her own religioun without criticism and question from others.

12. I would rather have one that places loyalty to Constitution above
belief in a mythology. Most Republicans carried their Bibles. Senator Nelson carried a Bible too.

13. then you disagree with my statement?
people (including senators) shouldn't be free to practice their own religion? It's not as if carrying a bible affects anyone else.

14. Everything that Hillary does is because of some cold political calculation
If she does anything, it probably has an ulterior motive that goes beyond a personal choice to carry a Bible to the swearing (thinking of Congressman Ellison).
