There seems to be a problem with this bill, at least to my untrained eye. It denies jurisdiction to the supreme court, and to district courts, regarding government officials expressing official belief in God, but it doesn't appear to deny similar jurisdiction to the circuit courts. So if the 9th Circus rules that the "In God We Trust" on pennies is unconstitutional, their ruling can't be reversed by the supreme court.

My impression of this Bill is that it was a knee jerk response to the complaint about the Mass Judiciary recently, regarding gay marriage. As I said, UNintended Consequences are dangerous, and I believe that this Bill is totally FULL of them. The potential for abuse and MORE not less problems is glaring, to me. I am not an attorney, but I have quite a long history of viewing any legislative measure with an eye for imperfection, and this Bill is NOT going to make things better.
