Interesting that although this resolution is dated from February 2005, it's received little or no media attention that I'm aware of. Yet, you'd think that a move to change a fundamental document of the US government and American culture in general would be high-priority, just like whenever an amendment is proposed to outlaw abortion, "sanctify" the definition of marriage, or outlaw flag burning. While I'm doubtful this would ever pass, I still find the silence of the media coverage on this matter deafening.
