The Constitution doesn't say that the Judiciary can MAKE law. The Constitution also gives the Legislative Branch the authority to determine the scope of the Judiciary's jurisdiction. The bill already has 22 co-sponsers; are they all brain-dead too. :)

I would support an amendment in this regard, however, I would want it to be more like a super super majority of about 80%.

I believe the constitution does, in fact, give limiting power over the courts to the legislature. This is all part of the ballance of power that our form of government is SUPPOSE to abide by. Unfortunately the courts have decided that they are the "Kings" of the country...
