GOP Will Pass Laws Scuttling 1st Amendment.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. I can't imagine any federal court, including the Supreme Court,

upholding that statute as written; it's got enough constitutional holes in it to drive a Caterpillar 797 mining truck through. For starters, the only religious or moral beliefs it protects are those relating to objections to same-sex marriage. It could easily be shot down by any first-year law student who barely squeaked through Con Law with a C, on the ground that it discriminates against people who hold other religious beliefs by failing to protect those beliefs. This proposed legislation is obviously just a sop to the fundies. Legislatures, including (or even especially) Congress, often try to pass laws they know won't withstand constitutional scrutiny as a means of sucking up to certain constituents (and donors). I'm pretty convinced that this is one such bill.
