In this week’s episode of Capitol Connection, Nate Grasz also discusses:

6:40 – How the Nebraska Legislative races are heating up.

13:00 – The importance of praying for our elected officials. Sen. Ben Sasse provided an important reminder while speaking at a local rotary club meeting in Nebraska City after hearing a woman praying for elected leaders.

17:00 – The opening briefs filed in the landmark Masterpiece Cakeshop Supreme Court Case. This case, which centers on a Christian cake artist from Colorado who declined to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding, will be one of the most significant of our lifetime. A government that can force Jack Phillips to violate his beliefs is the same government that can force you and me to violate ours.
