Ashcroft will be our new Torquemada ? Cheney as Cardinal Richellieu ? Scalia will be the Inquisitor ?
I'm talking about the The "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004"
...the [Bushies] in Washington are pushing a law through Congress that would "acknowledge God as the sovereign source of law, liberty [and] government" in the United States. What's more, it would forbid all legal challenges to government officials who use the power of the state to enforce their own view of "God's sovereign authority." Any judge who dared even hear such a challenge could be removed from office.
The "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004" is no joke; it was introduced last month by some of the Bush Regime's most powerful Congressional sycophants. If enacted, it will effectively transform the American republic into a theocracy, where the arbitrary dictates of a "higher power" -- as interpreted by a judge, policeman, bureaucrat or president -- can override the rule of law.
All the fundamentalist rethoric and the mixing of church with science and law we saw so far may be just the beginning
Yikes!
A fellow kossack,
galiel
has been harping on this for a while...
Why is it so damned hard for people on the Left to understand that these people actually believe they are right, not just Right, and that they are so zealous they will do anything to prevail?

And let's not forget that Rev Moon chose Bush as one of his 3 "rulers" (link Moonies knee-deep Bush plan)....
Update [2004-10-23 13:25:52 by lawnorder]: Thanks a lot for the feedback fellow kossacks! A link below gave us this gem:
As As Antonin Scalia explained
a few months later, the Bible teaches and Christians believe "... that
government ...derives its moral authority from God. Government is
the `minister of God' with powers to `revenge,' to `execute wrath,'including even wrath by the sword..."
Aaack! Bush may appoint 3 more judges to help this fruitcake!
