What an exercise in sophistry! As if Congress has been acting Constitutionally this whole time. Lets face it they are the worst offenders. If it wasn't for the laws that they pass, we wouldn't be in such a quagmire.

For what everyone but Justice Kennedy must surely notice is that he is, in effect, saying that only the Supreme Court enforces constitutional rights by changing what they are (and sometimes by making them up out of whole cloth)

This is the kind of crap that leads to greater and greater disrespect not only for the clowns in the SC and Congress, but for the Rule of Law itself. It invites, anarchy, chaos, and possibly the violence of Civil War II.

Wow, good article.

Article III, section 2. Passing a law forbidding courts from invoking injunctions based on special-interest group lawsuits is a great place to start. That is a simple matter of jurisdictional regulation in the Constitution.

There is no longer (if there ever was) any real separation of powers in the US government. Indeed, the government has, in large part, become an enemy of liberty. The Founders eloquently warned us of that. They also wrote into the Constitution several avenues of redress, including, in the extreme, resort to force of arms by the citizenry. Its becoming clear that we are on the road to slavery, tyranny, and possibly CWII and that we may be past the point of no return. I pray that we can reverse some of the damage done. It will take decades. I am not optimistic.

Sandra O'Connor today sodomized the U.S. Constitution! But we must have a stronger Freedom FROM Religion in her mind!

What a stupid article. The Supreme Court upholds just about anything Congress does. Why on earth would Congress want to stop them? The idea is absurd.

In recent cases such as U.S. v. Lopez and Printz v. U.S.,17 some see a trend toward the defense of federalism on the Supreme Court.

An interesting development, and somewhat ironic historically considering the context of the article. The Substantail Effects Doctrine is directly derived from the New Deal Commerce Clause, a doctrine that was first opposed by the USSC. It was only accepted under the threat of FDR's Court Packing Bill - a mechanism by which Congress and the Executive branches forced the USSC to come around to their way of thinking.
