Not at all. There is some current Congressional support for it, and I personally am against it. However, the truth is that the bill has been languishing in committee since 2005, and nothing new favouring this has been introduced since then.
WND tends to exaggerate, omit facts, and misconstrue, so using them as a single source is usually not a good idea. In this case they are simply trying to keep the base all riled up with a red herring, even though there is nothing on the horizon at this time regarding this (and Congress is a bit busy). Congress needs to be watched at all times, but there is no point in crying over milk that has not even been poured into the glass yet.
