Christian Dominionists Have Bill in Congress - Const. Rest. Act HR 3799

[NAO]

The Swift Advance of the Planned Theocratic Coup is now moving ahead of schedule. Below find links to analysis of this bill at The Yurica Report and Daily Kos.

Constitution Restoration Act of 2004- HR 3799 IH
http://www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/HR3799ConstitutionRestorationAct.html

The Yurica Report is the site I have been plugging for it's insightful and well documented analysis of the movement of the Christian right to establish a Theocracy in the US. The movement is known as Dominionism or as Christian Reconstructionism.

That they have a law in the works that will limit the Supreme Court's ability to interpret the Constitution is shocking. I knew they were pretty far along with what Katherine Yurica calls "The Swift Advance of a Planned Coup", but I liked to think it was early in the coup. It's later than you think.

1. Just got a chill --- this is SO possible now

that they have their "mandate" thanks to their fundie friends. I despair for this nation, frankly.

[NAO]

2. They believe they have the support of the majority of the electorate

If they extrapolate Bush's (alleged) win of 51% of the popular vote, they will believe that 51% of the American people want a Theocratic government.

As the articles at The Yurica Report illustrate, they have been planning and implementing this for over 20 years.

11. That means nothing to them

Even if they knew full well that they had less than 10% of the electorate on their side, they'd move ahead by any means necessary if they thought they could get their way. To the mind of the fanatically certain believer who's bent on world conquest, the beliefs, desires or opinions of others don't mean a thing.

It's all a question of winning when you know you're right and marching for the glory of the all-frighty. The only issue at hand is whether success is possible.

3. We outnumber them, how can we let this happen?

4. Love your link!

I think Dems (and Greens) ought to be pushing how their positions are far more Christ-like than those of the right. The old "What would Jesus do?" question can be asked about policy, and most of the time it'd be "ABB" (anything but *).

5. Thanks! :^) The spiritual left (and by this I mean all pluralistic

religions) surely has more members than the scheming paranoid one-way-only types. We have to speak up and do it now.

6. GAH

`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.'.

it's a little hard to understand, but man oh man....



In interpreting and applying the Constitution of the United States, a court of the United States may not rely upon any constitution, law, administrative rule, Executive order, directive, policy, judicial decision, or any other action of any foreign state or international organization or agency, other than the constitutional law and English common law.

9. is that not by nature unconstitutional?

I know the federal courts' jurisdiction is set by statute in Title 28. However, that I dont think that deprives the courts of the right of judicial reviw of legislative actions; so doesnt this still have to pass muster constitutionally?

[Hosnon]

7. Really the actual bill doesn't sound bad to me - as far as attempting

to establish a theocracy. Seems the bill wants to define the jurisdiction of the federal courts - any Civ Pro experts out there that can help us out?

8. It Was Introduced by the "Ten Commands" Guy - Analysis Link

The Yurica Report's analysis can be found here:

New Dominionist Bill Limits the Supreme Court's Jurisdiction
http://www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/ConstitutionRestorationAct.htm

excerpt:

"Although the claim by its sponsors ( http://www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/IntroToConstitutionRestorationAct.html ) appears to be that the intention is to prevent the courts from hearing cases involving the Ten Commandments or a Nativity Scene in a public setting from being reviewed, the law is drawn broadly and expressly includes the acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law by an official in his capacity of executing his office. John Giles, Alabama President of Christian Coalition said, "The greatest unbridled abuse by the federal judiciary for over forty years has been in the area of redefining the acknowledgement of God as the sovereign source of law...We define this as judicial activism, making law from the bench. These unconstitutional rulings have gone unchecked by other branches of government."

[JohnOneillsMemory]

10. The courts can't rule against anyone who sez 'God made me do it'?

That's where they are taking this to-The Divine Rule of Kings.
