OH GOD, PART II--Sen. Ben Espy, right, D-Columbus, and Sen. Leigh Herington, D-Ravenna, propose changing the state motto from "With God All Things Are Possible," to "In God We Trust," during a news conference on the grounds of the Ohio Statehouse, in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday, May 3, 2000. The Cincinnati based 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that the current motto violates the U.S. Constitution so Espy and Herington came up with the idea for the switch in order to avoid a costly appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
