They aren't finished yet. "Family Values Agenda" is still to come.
Much more at link. Abortion, Guns, stem cell and the Ten Commandments.

<snip>

Other bills are certain to spark controversy.

One would to strip the Supreme Court and other federal courts of jurisdiction over cases challenging the constitutionality of the Pledge of Allegiance. The legislation is a response to a 2002 Appeals Court ruling that held the pledge is unconstitutional because of the presence of the words "under God." A federal judge made a similar ruling last fall, citing the appeals court precedent.

Another measure would block the payment of attorney fees in challenges to the display of the Ten Commandments in public areas and other, similar church-state lawsuits.

An abortion-related proposal would require that some women seeking to end their pregnancies be informed the procedure "will cause the unborn child pain" and they have the option of receiving drugs to reduce or eliminate it. A separate measure would ban human cloning, a prohibition that cleared the House in the previous Congress.

Two measures relate to the rights of gun owners. One would prohibit the confiscation of legal firearms during national emergencies, barring practices such as the one that officials said arose in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina hit.<snip>

3. I really doubt the Dems will filibuster any of this.
I think they're letting the idiots hang themselves with their own agenda.

4. They're their own worst enemy
Gambling, prostitution, corruption, bribery, drug-abuse, pedophilia, anti-privacy -- the GOP would be way more effective if they held themselves up as examples of how NOT to behave if you respect family values.

5. They really are their own worse enemy.
They actually think people believe they are 'the family values party!':rofl: I'd say their 30% base are ignorant enough to believe that, but the rest of the country is on to their little game.
