Matthew Hill:

Ten Commandments bill dies in House subcommittee

Legislation to authorize public building displays of "historically significant documents" - including the Ten Commandments - failed in a Tennessee House subcommittee Wednesday.

The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Matthew Hill, R-Jonesborough, and state Sen. Rusty Crowe, R-Johnson City, did not make it to a vote. There are four Democrats and one Republican on the Constitutional Protections subcommittee.

"The Democrats just [protected the Tennessee State Constitution] killed it," Hill said of the bill. "I was more than disappointed about what happened. It was a permissive piece of legislation that lets local governments choose whether or not they want to display historical documents. ... If the good folks of the 7th (House) District send me back here, I'm filing the bill again."

...and if Rep. Hill should be re-elected to the Tennessee General Assembly and then not appointed to the Constitutional Protections Subcommittee, will the 7th House District carpetbagger expect any different results?
