I have nothing to say at this time. Am at work, and I don't want to say something really stupid about this that I can say after work with a little more thought and make it a statement of well written stupidity. Just putting it out for public notice.

Well, as I've said before, you can never go wrong in this country by shamelessly pandering to the religious.

Hmm...let's see the list again...

Yep, it's all there.

Later.

I would like to read some better articles on it (read: wait until the WSJ publishes something on it [Wink] ) but as of this moment I'm appauled. Is the foundation of this amendment actually that the laws of the USA should be based on their religion?

Hobbes, it's a good thing you aren't named Paul then. (psst, it's appalled [Smile] ).

Yeah, yeah, no one loves a spelling Nazi.

We our going to defend our religion by forcing it down you #$@#$ throats!

Next up, allowing a ruling tribunal of clerics to decide who can and cannot run for the legislature (as is the case with Iran now).

I'd advise taking anything you read on the editorial page of the WSJ with a healthy dose of salt. The rest is good, but the editorial page has been regularly filled with ideological rumor mongering.

Yeah, this really does leave one speechless. Yesterday I was criticizing the left for going too far.

And since this law deals with religion, it can not by its own decree, be subject to Judicial censor.

In high school, we played at being government. I tried to pass a law outlawing the Judicial branch. If you make it illegal, it can't overturn this law.

But then I was a smart mouthed freshman who thought he knew everything.

I didn't know I could have been a senator.

Anyone who thinks I can spell... is wrong. [Cool]

[EDIT: And don't worry, Fugu, I bring a heavy dose of critical thinking with me when I visit the editorials of the WSJ. [Smile] ]

I didn't see any mention of which "god" we're talking about here. So...Allah is the basis for our governmental system! And Zeus! And Iluvatar!

Somehow, I suspect that's not what our friends from Alabama want.

You know, it is not that big a step from this legislation to requiring an acknowledgement of a particular conception of God in order to be allowed to hold office.

They're trying to steal my country, and I don't like it one bit.
