From the Constitution Restoration Act of 2004, HR3799 S2082
Quote:
...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 acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government.
Let's see. The judicial branch is “an element” of federal, state and local governments, right? If this bill becomes law, could a judge institute biblical punishment?

The proposed bill punishes sitting judges by requiring impeachment and removal, if they review and cite decisions from "foreign" sources. The proposed Section 201, “Interpretation of the Constitution” reads:
Quote:
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.
Let's see. Laws and statistics from a number of countries were cited in the decision to overturn Lawrence (sodomy law). Would a judge accept foreign cites again if another gay civil rights issue were under review?

These sound like the ideas of Christian Reconstructionists and/or Dominionists. Should America be concerned?
