The Louisiana Legislature has approved a resolution urging Congress to pass the Constitution Restoration Act, a bill that would prohibit federal courts from ruling in cases involving government officials who acknowledge God "as the sovereign source of law, liberty or government."
During a special session this month to address Katrina recovery issues, Sen. Mike Smith, a Democrat, introduced Senate Concurrent Resolution 30, which passed the body by a 34-0 vote. The measure passed the state House by acclamation.
The first of its kind in the nation, the resolution finds that " the federal judiciary has overstepped its constitutional boundaries and ruled against the acknowledgement of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty and government by local and state officers and other state institutions, including state schools. "
The measure urges Congress to pass the Constitution Restoration Act of 2005, saying that by doing so lawmakers would be "protecting the ability of the people of Louisiana to display the Ten Commandments in public places, to express their faith in public, to retain God in the Pledge of Allegiance, to retain 'In God We Trust' as our national motto, and to use Article III, Section 2.2 of the United States Constitution to except these areas from the jurisdiction of the United States Supreme Court."

Good post, thanks.
Here is some good news.
Bump to stop evil ACLU
It's the same way with the schools. If they mention that evolution might not yet be a fully baked theory, then you have to protect the kids from hearing garbage from a teacher that they will accept as authoritative. But if they teach kids about condoms it won't affect how the kids think about sex - their parents teach them that.
I think we all know the truth - government workers and teachers can have opinions. Intelligent people can decide whether to be influenced by those opinions or not.
But not to hear the liberals tell it.
Shalom.
Pingout tomorrow.
May I be permitted a "wowie zowie"?
This is a step in the right direction.
State sovereignty should be enforced in every way possible.
Awesome post, Jay.
State sovereignty should be enforced in every way possible.
Just wait until Hitlery is in there - State's rights won't exist!
Outstanding!! This is definitely great news!!
"This is a step in the right direction.

I agree as well as the foundation upon which this nation was established, unalienable RIGHTS were bestowed by the Creator that no man/government can take/give.
In Louisiana, no less. Amazing.
Well when Mother Nature ripped off the covers of liberalism there was nothing else to do but look UP!!!

I like the sound of this. May it spread to all the other 49 States.
Maybe Louisiana has learned a lesson about messing with God.
Looks like the people of Louisiana aren't going to bash God or the President like the post-Katrina 'rats were hoping. LOL.
Anything that halts this 'progress' of America's 'slouching to Gomorrah' and back to the basics of our Founders is good news.
Ditto!
