Here is the text of a bill to make school prayer a right by giving it a amendment to the Constitution. This was drawn up in my home state today and published to the web site. Apparently many states have already signed on to this.

Well, Idaho is the most Republican state in the Union, so there is hope that some more reasonable states won't agree.

It'll never pass, just one of those look at me im a good christian bills. Now if tipper gore gets a sex change and michael jackson marries bubbles circus chimp and it does pass i'd be the first to join the revolution. \m/

Social vices apparently never existed until mandatory prayer was run out of public schools.

I have written letters to all of my reps. I was considering a letter to the Prez and the Speaker of the House but thought why bother.

According to a local radio report a majority of states have already signed on to this. You might want to check your perspective websites for similar actions.

If this does pass, which according to some sources is likely, will the Supreme Court strike it down?

I'll bet that this was a simplification of a press release that said that they had enough people signed on to introduce this legislation in a majority of states' legislatures.

In other words, "Yup, we've got a fundie in 32 states now! Uh-hyuk uh-hyuk, uh-hyuk."

Betcha that guy Melvin from Florida in the other thread is one of them.

No. The U.S. Supreme Court has no power to strike down Constitutional amendments. But don't worry. For this amendment to pass it would have to be ratified by 3/4 of the states AND get support from 2/3 of BOTH houses of Congress. The chances of that happening are virtually nil at this point.
