Curious, what would you have said if you sat in that honored seat?
Good question. I'm no politician and probably would have quickly inserted my foot into my mouth but I would have liked to have said something like what Boehner said:

"The fact that someone has the right to do something doesn't necessarily make it the right thing to do. This is not an issue of law, whether religious freedom or local zoning. This is a basic issue of respect for a tragic moment in our history."
