Here it comes

Read this for a little preview of what we have to look forward to:

As soon as the theocrat majority is esconsed in the Supreme Court, Congress will pass three key theocrat bills, which already passed the House this time around and will pass the Senate next time around:

The Marriage Protection Act, which would bar federal courts, including the Supreme Court from intervening in cases involving a state's recognition of another state's civil rights bills regarding marriage;

The Pledge Preservation Act, which would bar the federal courts, including the Supreme Court, from hearing challenges to the "Under God" part of the pledge;

The big one, the Constitution Restoration Act, which would bar the federal courts, including the Supreme Court, from hearing any challenges to violations of the Establishment Clause, the bill having been written by Harb Titus, who defended former Judge Roy Moore, the "Ten Commandments" judges. The bill goes even further, potentially barring challenges to the constiutionality of state laws, for example, mandating stoning for adultery, if such laws are based on Old Testament rationale.

That's 'Old testament' (as against 'New') rationale, not Talmudic, not Upanishadic, not koan. Welcome to Christian America.

Comments

I share your concerns, but the Supremes will strike down any such laws based upon the violation of the separation of powers. Congress cannot restrict the powers of the Supremes without a Constitutional Amendment.

Congress does like to pass these sorts of silly bills in order to impress the hometown crowd, knowing full well they'll be vetoed or overturned. Gives them some campaign fodder, too. Keep your eyes open, though.
