We the People Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The We the People Act (H.R. 4379) is a bill introduced in the United States House of Representatives by Representative Ron Paul (R-TX) on November 17, 2005. The bill would limit or remove the federal courts' jurisdiction in cases involving religious freedom, sexual orientation or practices, or same-sex marriages. It also states that decisions by federal courts on cases relating to these issues are not to be set as precedent in state courts: "Any decision of a Federal court, to the extent that the decision relates to an issue removed from Federal jurisdiction under section 3, is not binding precedent on any State court."
