New Law to go after Non-God fearing judges

The following is a summary of the Constitutional Restoration Act proposed by Republicans in the 109th congress that makes it possible for the Congress to charge any judge with a crime who disagrees with the concept that all law, liberty, and government comes only from God.

This law will remove judges from the bench if they don’t “acknowledge” that our system of law and government comes from God, as well as exempting certain legislation from judical review, such as the “ One nation under God” issue, or prayer in schools, when a “majority of Americans” back such an action.

Contrast that with the following, where the state of Montana has made the sharpest protest yet of the Patriot Act. So, if the majority of US citizens don’t approve of the Patriot Act, can they be exempted from following it? Not as if we got to vote for it, remember? </i>

Ok, which sounds like America to you?
