The House Subcommittee on the Courts, the Internet and Intellectual Property is considering a proposed Constitution Restoration Act. This Act would (a) strip federal courts of jurisdiction over any suit against a government entity for acknowledging God as the sovereign source of law, liberty or government; and (b) prohibit courts from looking to international or foreign law sources in interpreting the U.S. Constitution. It would also make any previous federal court decisions that violated these principles non-binding in state courts. Finally, any federal judge who violated (a) or (b) could be impeached or removed. The House subcommittee is scheduled for Monday, September 13 at 4:30 p.m.
The House and Senate versions of the bill can be found at:

The subcommittee will also hear testimony relating to proposed H.R. 2028, which would strip federal courts of jurisdiction to hear First Amendment challenges to the Pledge of Allegiance.
