  Republicans Hate The US Constitution

  They've fabricated a wedge issue out of thin air, while at the same time attempting to lock the First Amendment and the courts (and thus the system of checks and balances) out of the issue of the mention of God in the pledge of allegiance.

  That is, they've introduced legislation preventing the court from ruling a certain way on a certain issue, in the future. Which is contrary to the US Constitution, and the foundations of our republic. All so they can score political points against other senators who would, rightly, object to pissing on the work of our founding fathers. The legislation likely won't make it to the house, but those Republican fuckers will be able to tell their religious right wing constituency that they defended God in government. Which they didn't actually do.

  It's like that Frank Zappa song, 'When The Lie's So Big:' "Someone please tell me wheeeeeennnnn... We'll be rid of these meeeeennnnn..." (Click to listen.)

  (Yes, the headline is excessive, but you know what? So are the Republicans doing this.)
