Outstanding! I will be sharing. I recently heard a comic joking about how easy it is to create a religion (Scientology). He said all you need is a dead guy, and you can call it a religion.

If you follow this religion back to what I believe to be the roots it's a purposed, and direct inversion of Christianity, and an anti-Human cult.

Fantastic! This is the way.

Michael, come check us out the Philos-Sophia Initiative, “Breaking Through the Barrier of Scientistic Belief” at www.philos-Sophia.org

I believe you will find areas of alignment in support of the cause.

Thanks, I'll check it out when I get a chance.

The beauty about an offensive strategy—aside from the fact that it’s almost impossible to plausibly refute the assertions in the text as written—is that a Claimant would have to show that they have legal standing; which is to say, they would have to admit to being Marxist in orientation and are therefore harmed by the legislation.

Bravo!

If it gets to SCOTUS, four Justices will reject it out of hand because the law attacks the core of who they are and what they represent. The more I think about it, this is quite possibly one of the most powerful pieces of proposed legislation because it insists on recognition that the Constitution asserts certain metaphysical premises that exclude opinions held by nearly half the Court and more than half of the US population. It’s an atom bomb.

The other four will be happy to hear arguments.

But the decider will be Roberts who is, in practice, a legal positivist. So a strategy exclusive of considerations of the Natural Law will have to be planned to sway him. Or, he will be forced to admit, as the legislation proposes, that the preamble to the Constitution—“that all Men are endowed by their Creator...”—is a positive appeal to the Natural Law, necessarily elevating an Originalist interpretation to preeminence in every area of legal interpretation. It’s a death-knell to progressivism in America.

Yes, and yes.

Though, this would take quite some time to reach that point. The more immediate effect is to educate people, build out social mass and momentum, and identify a win condition decentralized actors can work towards.

D'you think there would be anything in looking for representatives in other states to introduce the same or a similar bill?

Yes, and I have, though few have had interest.
