Progress Now Action

The religious fundamentalists that power the Grand Old Party most clearly shows through on trying to limit the intent of the Constitution's reach to all people. Rather than extending civil liberties to all people the religious right wants progressive change in America for the last two centuries to be overturned and the Constitution, in the words of Scalia, "For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God...The Lord repaid — did justice — through His minister, the state...That consensus has been upset, I think, by the emergence of democracy...The reaction of people of faith to this tendency of democracy to obscure the divine authority behind government should not be resignation to it, but the resolution to combat it as effectively as possible." is against the Lord.

What the religious right's Scalia, and Bush champion's as a paragon of justice, is the exact opposite of what our Constitution stands for.

The Constitution being amended to keep only heterosexuals in marriage is a remarkable piece of social engineering that has as a precedent the Prohibition.

Social engineering should be left out of the Constitution and history has shown that amending should be used to to expand the rights of all people.
