Congress, the Court, and the Constitution contains congressional testimony presented 6 years ago, describing the means Congress has to force the federal judicary into compliance with the U.S. Constitution.

Support and Defend: How Congress Can Save the Constitution from the Supreme Court much shorter version of the above.
