Introducing The Constitution Restoration Act

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.

This is not a joke, a test, or a fit of libertarian paranoia. The CRA already has 28 sponsors in the House and Senate, and a March 20 call to lead sponsor Sen. Richard Shelby's office assures us that "we have the votes for passage."

It was only a matter of time. And this is exactly how Constitutional crises arise: one branch saying "We have these powers above and beyond what [other branch] allows" and the other branch saying "No, you really don't." Normally this is referred back to the Constitution, but if one branch is willing to ignore the Constitution, and doesn't recognize the other branch's Constitutional authority or oversight (what Congress has been setting up for a while now), you have a crisis.

Yeah, WE're the ones who should be showing the rest of the world how it's done. Sure.

Hmm.. I remember this same proposition being put before the House about half a year ago and if memory serves me right, it didnt make it through.
Could be the same act though.
