Congressjerk Introduces Bill to Make 9/11 girder cross a "National Memorial"

Church-State Separation? What
kind of commie plot is that?
Disappointingly but unsurprisingly, clueless militant Catholic NY Tea Party Republican and US House Member Michael Grimm launched a House bill this week to make the 9/11 Memorial Cross a "National Memorial".

This, of course, is the same strategy that Congress pulled in 2006 in an attempt to derail the appellate court rulings on the Mt. Soledad "War Memorial" cross in San Diego. That strategy eventually failed, as the courts have since upheld the rulings despite the change in ownership. But it did have the effect of dragging out the issue (yet again) and further raising the costs of receiving justice in the matter.

Didn't they read the Constitution out loud the first day of their 2011 session?  Tea Party Republican Rep. Grimm seems to be all favor getting government out of our lives, except when it comes to imposing his own religious beliefs on the rest of us. Can you say "hypocrite"?
