H.R. 3799... something smells rotten in the State

summary of the bill:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d108:h.r.03799:
Quote:
Constitution Restoration Act of 2004 - Amends the Federal judicial code to prohibit the U.S. Supreme Court and the Federal district courts from exercising jurisdiction over any matter in which relief is sought against an element of Federal, State, or local government or officer of such government by reason of that element's or officer's acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government.

Prohibits a court of the United States 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.


Provides that any Federal court decision relating to an issue removed from Federal jurisdiction by this Act is not binding precedent on State courts.

Provides that any Supreme Court justice or Federal court judge who exceeds the jurisdictional limitations of this Act shall be deemed to have committed an offense for which the justice or judge may be removed, and to have violated the standard of good behavior required of Article III judges by the Constitution.

Anybody else seem to notice a pattern of trying to dilute the Supreme Court's power by the House of Rep lately?

Of course this will be tried to happen.

The Supreme Court sits like a Supreme Tribunal as appointed for life. The Legislative Body cannot stand that as they must be elected each time.

Hell, they are no different when it comes to anyone disturbing their Good Old Boy Group.

But, they do have differing opinions about what jusdgement should be handed down not all of the bickering along Party Lines and preasure. Well, Hopefully!

I can hear that ominous song in the distance, along with the cadence of jackboots down Pennsylvania Avenue...

"Die Fähne hoch, die Reihe fest geschlossen!" (Raise high the flags, stand rank-on-rank together!) -- the opening lines to the Nazi party anthem "Horst Wessel Lied" (Horst Wessel's Song).
