Constitution Restoration Act of 2004
From dKosopedia
A law to introduce GOD above the US Supreme Court ?
Religious leaders in Washington are pushing a law through Congress that would acknowledge God as the sovereign source of law, liberty [and] government in the United States. What's more, it would forbid all legal challenges to government officials who use the power of the state to enforce their own view of "God's sovereign authority." Any judge who dared even hear such a challenge could be removed from office

What they don't say
From the petition with Conservatives Plea for supporting the Bill we read what's NOT written on the bill:
Don't let black-robed tyrants turn America into an atheist state! Sign this petition in support of the "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004" -- H.R. 3799 and S. 2082 now before Congress. Then work with sponsor Alan Keyes to educate fellow citizens and move them to action
The U.S. House and Senate, in defense of constitutional integrity, must craft and enact legislation of various kinds, that comprehensively REMOVES from the jurisdiction of federal courts ALL matters RESERVED by the First and Tenth Amendments TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY AND TO THE PEOPLE
