Theocracy anyone?

This from the Orwellian “Constitution Restoration Act” currently in Congress (ever notice that all these bills have names straight out of Orwell?):

“the Supreme Court shall not have jurisdiction to review, by appeal, writ of certiorari, or otherwise, any matter to the extent that relief is sought against an element of Federal, State, or local government, or against an officer of Federal, State, or local government (whether or not acting in official personal capacity), by reason of that element’s or officer’s acknowledgement of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government.’”

(Thanks to John Turri for the pointer.)
