Any matter to the extent that relief is sought against an entity of Federal, State, or local government, or against an officer or agent of Federal, State, or local government (whether or not acting in official or personal capacity), concerning that entity's, officer's, or agent's acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government. (Emphasis added. Full text here)So what does that mean? It means (deep breath) that someone’s interpretation of the Bible will trump the US constitution and federal law. Always wanted to burn witches? Kill homosexuals? Sell your children into slavery? Well, thanks to this bill, you can, and the US justice system can’t do anything about it. They’d be dismissed for even considering it! In fact, you can break any law you care to, so long as you can find a justification for it in Leviticus.
Goodbye, American Republic. Goodbye, Bill of Rights. We’ll miss you. I am completely serious about this, by the way. This bill is death to all our naive secular notions of freedom and the law.
And chances are looking pretty good that this monstrosity to pass. The CRA already has 28 sponsors in the House and Senate, and Sen. Shelby’s office claims ‘we have the votes’. And why not? The Religious Right owns the Republican Party lock, stock, and barrel. 45 senators and 186 representatives get 80-100 ratings from the Christian Coalition. There’s no democracy in the Bible; so far as they’re concerned this whole sham of ‘elections’ has just been a prelude to the re-establishment of Christendom.
When I’m getting dragged off to the Re-education Camp for Socialist Heathens, I’ll know who to blame.
