For your perusal, children.

No time to read now in any detail, myself; but, I sure *do* like the title.

I don't have to. My congress critters are already co-sponsors for the bill.

Sen Shelby and Sen Sessions of AL are 2 Ayes, along with all the R Reps from Alabama.

Such rulings and others equally outrageous have not been made because they are required by the Constitution as written, but because the Court no longer sees itself as bound by the words of the Constitution (as they swear to be) as Chief Justice John Marshall said it should be. Rather, the Court views the Constitution as a living, evolving document that means anything a majority on the Court says. Thomas Jefferson warned of such a lawless Court when he said, "The Constitution ... is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary which they may twist and shape into any form they please."

I was privileged to attend a lecture last Friday by Justice Antonin Scalia here in San Diego. The topic of his lecture was "Free At Last, Free At Last: The Liberation of the Supreme Court from the Text of the Constitution." As Scalia said at the end of this talk, if we don't return to the original words of the Constitution, we are, in essence, giving 5 justices on the Supreme Court the authority to govern us as they see fit, without restraint of any type.

" if we don't return to the original words of the Constitution, we are, in essence, giving 5 justices on the Supreme Court the authority to govern us as they see fit, without restraint of any type."

Article III, Section 2, Paragraph 2 of the U.S. Constitution:

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

Don't know if it will pass but its worth the effort.
