Democrats Want to Change a 181-Year-Old Rule to Allow Religious Headwear in the House

As they prepare to welcome two newly-elected Muslim women into the 116th Congress, Democrats have proposed a clarification to a 181-year-old rule banning representatives from wearing hats on the House floor.

If approved, the new rules would allow lawmakers to wear religious headwear, like hijabs and kippahs, once Democrats take control of the chamber in January.

Representative-elect Ilhan Omar, one of the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress, wears a headscarf. She was born in Somalia and came to the United States as a refugee.

 No one puts a scarf on my head but me. It’s my choice—one protected by the first amendment.

And this is not the last ban I’m going to work to lift. http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/hats-congress-religious-garb-exception?bt_ee=ONRQahIBWdjXs%2By0XjPUc8EXJbPXxnxNtcYMUvgxotGxCmoL1yh8ZM7or%2BcUesZQ&bt_ts=1542395625024 …


The proposed rule was co-authored by current House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, ranking Democrat on the Rules Committee Rep. Jim McGovern and Omar. It comes as part of the Democrats’ new House rules proposal package. The drafted changes promise to “ensure religious expression,” by “clarify[ing] in the rules that religious headwear is permitted to be worn in the House chamber.”

Brand new thread. Any bets on any single one of them bringing up their stupid separation of church and state argument?

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Honestly, I'm ok with this, as long as it's all religious headwear that's allowed including yarmulkas.  However, if any religion's items are banned, all are banned.  Equal for all...

They would allow anything until the 1st Sikh is sworn in wearing his blade.

Honestly, if the Army is authorizing Sikhs to join, beard, blade and all, then Congress should have no issue.  It's not like there's never been an aggravated assault in the halls before...

I betcha there'd be a few of them.  The Rep from MN would probably freak out.   I think MAGA hats should also be permitted.
