I bet it passes unanimously.

We are a nation who have turned our backs on God, legislated Him out of the public and deemed his Presence on public grounds a criminal offense. God is an outlaw in our government's eye, something to be feared and hated. It all boils down to a power struggle, no? Men who would govern us effectively know they need the help of God, men who would rule over us see God as a competitor.

Until we find our collective way back to God, and to the mentality and morality that our nation was founded on, we will continue to be ruled by men instead of being governed by men. In other words, things are about to get a lot worse for us before they get better. It seems our freedoms are falling like leaves off a tree in Autumn. All atheistic governments who relegated God to second-class citizen status have found this out----what surprises me is that we have not learned from it.

The entire purpose of the proposed bill by Hatch is to continue to destroy the Constitution's built-in "balance of powers". The really smart founders of our republic figured out that having three branches of government each jealously guarding its own power and prerogatives will work much better than concentrating all power in one branch and hoping for the best.

I think the Supreme Court especially ought to notice the provision about "nonjudicial subpoenas" -- cutting the judicial branch out of this scheme -- and reject the entire bill as unconstitutional.
