When has one party ever controlled 66% of both houses of Congress? I guess I need to remind you that the Constitution gives the Congress the authority to control the Judiciary. If your attitude prevailed, the 'activist judge' problem would NEVER be solved. I don't think you've thought this issue through.

Give the activist judges another 10 years, and we'll all be practicing our religions in basements, dogs will be marrying humans, and ALL Boy Scouts will be locked up and sent to Devil's Island.

I'd rather roll the dice with a congressional "Super-Majority."

[undeniable logic]

I don't get it - the proposal is that congress can overturn supreme court decisions with a supermajority. Doesn't congress already have all the power that it needs. If the supreme court is correctly interpreting the constitution, then an ammendment is necessary (if an outcome not supported by the supermajority is reached.) If the supreme court consistently misinterprets the constitution, then a judge can be impeached and removed by supermajority (isn't this correct)?
