You should live fully and with enthusiasm, the commands of your faith, but it is not the role of the public servant to mandate that for everybody else.

If you think, what was the last really big, big accomplishment for the nation that came purely out of the legislature? It might be the Americans with Disabilities Act. I mean that really was a legislative creation.
