I only recently heard about the "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004", HR 3799 IH. Amazing.


`Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, 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 acknowledgement of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government.'.


Essentially, if a judge decides to have these two gays executed by stoning, the Supreme Court could do diddly squat about it since, hey, it's the law of God.

Have fun googling for the CRA

Along those lines, I Got an email recently titled "To Our Neighbors To The North"

Dear Canada,

We are formally requesting your assistance. Our country has been taken
over by right-wing fundamentalists, and there does not appear to be an
end in sight. We are hereby requesting to join your union, where
rational thought seems to have gone after it fled our country.

Attached is a pretty map of what our new greater nation will look like.
Please help us extend your borders a little further south.

Sincerely,
The Blue States

PS. Though we be not large in landmass, we are the economic engine of
the country and could certainly help propel Canada to superpower status.

There has been plenty of news coverage of left-leaning Americans looking to emigrate to Canada. The government actually announced there would be no short-cuts for US citizens; they will have to apply like everyone else.

I can't read the future, but is it a stretch to see gays applying for refugee status in Canada due to religious persecution?
