oh lord

Sorry for waxing political here, but I can't believe this. House bill 3799, otherwise known as the Constitution Restoration Act of 2004, is legislation aimed at protecting any government official who "acknowledge[s] God as the sovereign source of law, liberty [and] government" in the United States. Not only does this promote a theocracy, but it would allow any U.S. Supreme Court judge who attempted to question the law to be impeached. Who is writing this stuff? More importantly, who is supporting it? Something tells me this guy may be behind it at some level. An excerpt:

(1) AMENDMENT TO TITLE 28- Chapter 81 of title 28, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

Sec. 1260. Matters not reviewable

"Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the Supreme Court shall not have jurisdiction to review, by appeal, writ of certiorari, or otherwise, any matter to the extent that relief is sought against an element of Federal, State, or local government, or against an officer of Federal, State, or local government (whether or not acting in official personal capacity), by reason of that element's or officer's acknowledgement of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government.".

(Via mefi, and of course was followed by a good point.)

Update: Yep, I thought so. Roy Moore is involved in this foolishness.
