Here's the prayer for people who don't read the article:

In the name of the eternal rebel against tyrannical authority, in the spirit of your nature of the natural world, the freedoms of thought and expression, unprejudiced intellectual inquiry, economics and social progress to bring influence and guiding actions of nobility and justice to the decisions made in this chamber today, to act with might and the undertaking of responsibility that may lay ahead of this body before us today.
The New Age is dawning that these decisions will play a role in. For our liberation, for here and now is our day of joy, here and now is our opportunity.
May we seize this glorious day and its enchanting night to celebrate the wonders of the natural world, as we are all part of its boundless mysteries.

I see how that can be a shock.

I mean, if you think rebellion against authority is a bad thing. But I thought this was America. Rebelling against tyrannical authority is our nation's origin story.

Yeah, and people who are the authority are suspiciously opposed to rebellion against them.
