...affiliated lawyers who do volunteer work around the country. "We want to institutionalize our work so we'll be here in 50 years.'' Increasingly too, the Christian-law groups are beginning to act in concert, most notably on a religion amendment to the Constitution, which they plan to unveil this month. Representative Ernest Jim Ishtook, a Republican from Oklahoma who will sponsor it in the House, expects the measure to have broad support. "Too many people have tried to create a new standard based on whether a single person gets their feelings hurt," Ishtook says. "What about the emotional injury...
...opposition into an increasingly radical position on the right. But now that Gingrich has arrived, what does he want? His record as a builder is shaky at best, and his grand vision is mostly implicit. When Gingrich rallied more than 300 G.O.P. candidates in Washington in late September to unveil a position paper called "Contract with America," the supposedly revolutionary document contained mostly warmed-over Reaganomics.

It will include a list of bills they would promise to produce within 100 days, including a balanced-budget amendment, welfare reform and George Bush's old standby...
...timing is excruciating. Rostenkowski has promised to unveil his outline of a health bill immediately after Congress's Memorial Day recess. Yet under the rules of the House Democratic Caucus, if a committee chairman is indicted for a felony punishable by more than two years in prison, he must cede his chairmanship, though not his committee membership. (He can return later if vindicated.) And so at precisely the moment when he planned to move Bill Clinton's most important legislation through the key House committee, the chairman might be stepping down in shame...
