God said what?!?

VOX POPULORUM EST VOX DEI

The voice of the people is the voice of God.

That's what's above the House chamber in the Minnesota Capitol building. It's what the Minnesota representatives see as they cast their votes, making laws. I don't know if it's supposed to be humbling or empowering. Either way, I think it's kind of terrifying.

It should serve as a reminder to the legislators of the impact of their decisions, and that they are held to a higher moral authority. However, some would argue that some legislators like to play God, and make decisions in their own interest.

Either way, they're all on Easter holiday right now. They'll be back at noon on Tuesday.
