Lawmaker under fire for saying Sundays are for wives to bring husbands breakfast in bed

A male lawmaker told his peers that Sunday mornings are intended for wives to bring their husbands breakfast in bed - while his colleague complained about his wife's spending habits.

North Dakota Representatives Bernie Satrom and Vernon Laning shared their views on marriage last week while fighting the repeal of the state's blue laws, which dictate that businesses should open later than usual on Sundays, or not at all.
