More substantial rant on it <a href="http://www.cellar.org/showthread.php?p=154731#post154731">here</a>. It's a religious-right wet dream and rather unlikely to pass, but that it is even being _considered_...

(And it's not just DeLay calling for hearings and remedies like these. If we Pennsylvanians can't get Santorum out of office next year, we might as well close the state down, give the keys to Roy Moore and emigrate to neighboring areas. I have my eye on the suburbs of Wilmington, myself.)
