Constitution Restoration Act of 2004 Makes the Bible the Law of the Land
(Katherine Yurica, February 19, 2004)
On January 6, 2004, the Yurica Report published "America Stands on the Edge of a Grave Constitutional Crisis Linked to Pat Robertson." In that article we reported that televangelist Pat Robertson devised a number of ways of limiting the power of the U.S. Supreme Court and the federal courts of America. . . . On February 11, 2004, we published "The Despoiling of America" by Katherine Yurica. To quote Robertson from this article, "God's plan is for His people, ladies and gentlemen to take dominion...to reign and rule...There'll be a reformation....We are not going to stand for those coercive utopians in the Supreme Court and in Washington ruling over us any more. . . . Both these articles reported a crisis in our government and revealed the plan of the far right Dominionists who control Congress to reconstruct our constitution and "restore" it to subservience to a theocratic religion under God and under biblical law. . . . On February 11 , 2004 Dominionist leaders in congress made their move; they introduced a bill in both houses called The Constitution Restoration Act of 2004. . . . The House version is H.R. 3799 and the Senate version is S. 2082. The bill limits the U.S. Supreme Court and federal courts to hear cases involving "expressions of religious faith by elected or appointed officials." . . . Although the claim by its sponsors appears to be that the intention is to prevent the courts from hearing cases involving the Ten Commandments or a Nativity Scene in a public setting from being reviewed, the law is drawn broadly and expressly includes the acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law by an official in his capacity of executing his office. . . . if it becomes law, may allow any judge to institute biblical punishments without being subject to review by the Supreme Court or the federal court system. . . . So important is the passage of this bill to Dominionists one of their activists said, "The passage of this bill should be regarded as the most important item on the conservative agenda this year! It'is...more important than who wins the White House this November."
