Another stupid law...

Go read this:

about something coming up in congress that defends the rights of lawmakers and other government employees right to claim God as the sole source of law, their actions, etc.

Fortunately, even if this law was to pass, the Supreme Court would almost certainly rule it unconstitutional, preventing it from taking effect. If Congress wants to limit the power of the Supreme Court this way, they need a Constitutional amendment, not a simple law. My guess is that even the bill's sponsors don't expect it to pass, and may not even want it to pass...but it gives them something to show to their fundamentalist constituents in the next election.
