Human Events has a great article that mentions Dan's bill, The Public Expression of Religion Act:
Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) made an appearance at the event to promote the Public Expression of Religion Act (PERA), which would eliminate the attorney’s fees problem and allow more flexibility for religious symbolism.
“We want to make sure there’s not encouragement for [the ACLU] to do that to cities and towns where, in many cases, are concerned they will stuck with a big legal bill whether they win or lose,” said Burton.
Burton said he is trying to move the bill through the House and Senate before the election. Burton mentioned that he would also be in favor of pushing federal cases to the states so that elected judges -- who must face the electorate for re-election -- decide more of them.
