Democrats Sell Out Constitution to Christian Pressure
How is this possible? In the year 2005, when 60's-era thinkers imagined Mars-based cities, combustion-free engines, world peace and social justice we have instead an 18th century battle between resurgent social luddites (Evangelicals and Federalists) and progressive free-thinkers.
An era of social regression doesn't just happen, not this one, and not this time. This one was engineered by Big Business Money and Big Political Powerbrokers who understood that a world free of poverty and war was bad for those huge investments and careers in the military-industrial complex. They understood that poverty breeds unrest and unrestful politics leads to the need for military repression. I can understand that a strategy was manufactured, financed and now is running--even if unevenly--in the present Republican government to do as much damage as possible to the political peace and economic and social advances liberalism promises.
What I DON'T understand is how Democrats can fall into the trance-hum Republican machinery produces. Is Mike Smith a conservative in blue clothing, or is he juicing at the trough of one of the many streams of DeLayan influence?:

"The Louisiana Legislature has approved a resolution urging Congress to pass the Constitution Restoration Act, a bill that would prohibit federal courts from ruling in cases involving government officials who acknowledge God 'as the sovereign source of law, liberty or government.'--snip--
During a special session this month to address Katrina recovery issues, Sen. Mike Smith, a Democrat, introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 30, which passed the body by a 34-0 vote. The measure passed the state House by acclamation."
Touted by some supporters as one of the most important pieces of legislation in U.S. history, the bill states:
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.Hat-tip to Stop the ACLU.
