Arizona Democrat Censured for Bible Prank in Legislature

Arizona Republicans voted to censure Democratic lawmaker Stephanie Stahl Hamilton after she hid Bibles in a lounge for legislators, which was deemed "disorderly conduct" by a bipartisan ethics committee. The move came after a failed attempt to expel her from the House. Stahl Hamilton apologized for the "simple little prank" and a "peaceful, playful protest" meant as commentary on the separation of church and state. The censure required a simple majority and was passed with a 30-28 vote.
