H.R. 1431: Workplace Religious Freedom Act of 2007

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-1431
I just thought this was interesting in the sense that this bill has been introduced but never passed twelve other times in Congress, and right now it has only been introduced (on March 9, 2007). There is a note that says introduced bills go first to committees before they go into debate, but the majority of introduced bills never make it out of the committee. After reading the other articles on this issue, and knowing how tedious of a process it is for bills to actually go into effect in the United States, I do not think that this bill will even make it to the next stage- being scheduled for debate- and if it does, it will not actually go into effect for some time. There is too much controversy on the topic of it and too many opinions on whether or not it is actually a good thing since people could use their religion as an excuse for many actions in the workplace. We will just have to wait and see if this time it makes past the committee...
