FROM ALPHAPATRIOT:
It was just the end of last month that a federal judge said the Pentagon can no longer host Boy Scout events in response to a 1999 lawsuit by the ACLU.
By 21 July Senator Frist proposed legislation that clearly states that the Pentagon can spend millions in support of youth programs, including the Boy Scouts.Frist said it "removes any doubt that federal agencies may welcome Scouts to hold meetings, go camping on federal property or hold scouting events and public forums" on government property.
Just five days later there were 53 cosponsors and the measure passed with a vote of 98 to 0. Boxer, Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton, Feinstein — they all voted to poke a finger in the ACLU's eye.
When the judiciary seeks to make the laws as well as to rule on them, it throws the whole balance of powers out of whack. It's significant to see Congress moving to counter efforts made by the judiciary to legislate from the bench.
