These "bills" are the Right setting up liberals and moderates. They hope to pass this and then cry when a Court chucks it as unconstitutional following a challenge from some Democratic group. This kind of cheap nonsense will be ending very shortly, as the nation's tolerance for the Right is getting awfully short. Bush is sinking like a stone, and the Right is equated with him. As he goes, they go.

Cheney talked about "death throes of an insurgency in Iraq." He was looking in the wrong direction. I'd say the Religious Right's high water mark has passed. In the coming decades, people disgusted with the nonsense they've seen perpetrated by the few who sseek to rule everyone under their idiot religious rules are going tio start whacking the right with their votes rather than court challenges to absurd bills.

I wonder what the Right will do then? Shit, I know what it will do - it will petition the Courts, and scream about how it needs an activist judiciary to save the nation from moral relativists working at the legislative level. It'll just be a shifting of instrumentality - the Rights using the Courts, the Left/Middle using the legislature. What a comic dance of idiots. Intelligent design? Yeh...
