Proposed legislation will restrict judges to "God's divine word" !

Introducing The Constitution Restoration Act
Say Hello To Taliban America And Goodbye To Godless Judges, Courts And Law

(snip..)

Just in case you've briefly fallen behind on your rightwing mailing lists, you might have missed the March 3rd filing of Senate bill S. 520 and House version is H.R. 1070, AKA the "Constitution Restoration Act" (CRA).

In the worshipful words of the Conservative Caucus, this historic legislation will "RESTORE OUR CONSTITUTION!", mainly by barring ANY federal court or judge from ever again reviewing "any matter to the extent that relief is sought against an entity of Federal, State, or local government, or against an officer or agent of Federal, State, or local government (whether or not acting in official or personal capacity), concerning that entity's, officer's, or agent's acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government."

In other words, the bill ensures that God's divine word (and our infallible leaders' interpretation thereof) will hereafter trump all our pathetic democratic notions about freedom, law and rights -- and our courts can't say a thing. This, of course, will take "In God We Trust" to an entirely new level, because soon He (and His personally anointed political elite) will be all the legal recourse we have left.

Why ruin what is left of this nation over some book? Do these people understand that reality, our society, and our technology is based on secular rationalism and science? Do they not understand that a person can be secular and religious at once? What don't they understand about democracy, freedom, and rights of each person? They claim to spread fredom yet restore the Taliban here. I can't stand the Evangelical Christians, hell, any Christian since they let this shit go on too long and rarely said anything against it. Jim Wallis maybe the last true American Christian.

I'd like to thank Catholic priests for influencing our elections and special thanks to the fools that put Revelations in the Bible.

Thems the holy words what jebus wrote!

I believe that is says that nobody can sue (government or agents) for believing that God is (etcetera and so on).

But I agree that there's GOT TO BE some kind of evil, malevolent intent behind it, probably having to do with some obsure legal or religious interpretation of the word "acknowledgement."

Ten bucks says that word doesn't meant the same thing to them as it does to the rest of us.

Redstone

is a court will never be able to review any law that allows people to acknowledge God. This will mean Roy Moore can put his statue up. This means states/counties can make laws having prayer in school...

Although in practice I don't think this will be the effect, because the courts will rule this law violates the constitution. If a states law doing the same violates the constitution, so does a federal law. Both are superceded by the Constitution. Basically they're setting up the courts to have to strike this down, and look like they're out of control and trying to control society. These people really hate the constitution.

I don't' believe they can amend the constitution that way. What a bunch of numb nuts.

they tried it in 2004 to protect Roy Moore and it didn't go anywhere.

In 2003 it was called something else, but it was essentially the same thing. And there was probably something like it in 2002, and 2001, and 2000. . . . . . .


It's still horrible, but it's not new.

of the number of items the Republicans have been able to push through congress because of their majority and threats.

At any rate, it still needs attention so people know what they're up to.

But they will keep on trying. that's the thing about fanatics.
