Something Worth Fleeing For
Go to Google News and type "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004". Gasp in astonishment. Start packing your bags.
There are identical bills in committee in both the House and Senate right now. Unfortunately, the dot gov site places links in a temporary file, so I can't link to them. But you can go to the very fine Yurica Report and dig them up, or go to The Library of Congress and do a keyword search.
I don't expect either of these bills to make it out of committee. As a whole, our Legislature is composed of a pretty decent bunch of men and women. These bills are beyond ridiculous. Even if they were passed, for some reason that I can't imagine; they would never survive the Supreme Court.
This bill is nothing more than a red herring designed to draw attention away from The Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Last August, a version of the same thing was submitted to the Senate. It was titled The Religious Liberties Restoration Act.
Another interesting bill right now is the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Act.
Sleep well, kiddies!
