Link comes from

emmett_the_sane, as does this: Another fucking scary bill to hamstring the judiciary. Yikes, part two. Specifically, this one prohibits the courts, including the Supreme Court, from having jurisdiction over any part of government or member of it "by reason of that element's or officer's acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government." Separation of church and state? Is for wusses, apparently.

It also prohibits US courts from "relying upon any law, policy, or other action of a foreign state or international organization in interpreting and applying the Constitution, other than the constitutional law and English common law."

It also makes any decision that goes against the first part non-binding on the states, and says any judge or Justice who does it can be removed from office.

Write your Congresscritters if you got 'em? This and the bill to let Congress overrule the Supreme Court are like killing a flea with an elephant gun. On a pressurized space station.
