re: "Bernie Sanders's Religious Test for Christians in Public Office" - The Atlantic

However, Bernie is within his rights to question the action during a confirmation hearing and point out that if Vought repeated his past conduct while working for the governor that such actions would violate the Constitution.

What is interesting is Bernie never directly questions the context of why Vought gave the statement. He never asks if Vought would, as a public official, forbid the use of hijab's worn by teachers in an act of religious solidarity. His concern is the statement itself, a religious position that Vought believes that Muslim's stand condemned due to their reject of Jesus.
