I hate to say it but won't it require a constitutional amendment to codify this otherwise sound piece of legislation? It seems to me that, ultimately, the Supreme Court could just strike this down on separation of powers arguments otherwise.

This bill gets about three more votees than it has sponsors.

I love it, but it has as much chance of being law as Howard Dean does of giving the State of the Union Address in January of 2005.

UM, if judges feel free to ignore laws already on the books, how is yet another law going to make any difference?

This is an interesting piece of legislation. And because you may not like the messenger is no reason to kill the message. It's worth looking at.

"limit the jurisdiction of Federal courts in certain cases and promote federalism."

As much as I applaud the effort I can't help but feel that such legislation is unconstitutional given the separation and checks and balances proscribed in The Constitution for the 3 branches of our government.

"For the last fifty years, federal courts have run roughshod over the Constitution. For all practical purposes, America is now controlled by a tyrannical oligarchy of federal judges."

"The great object of my fear is the federal judiciary. That body, like gravity, ever acting, with noiseless foot, and unalarming advance, gaining ground step by step, and holding what it gains, is engulfing insidiously the special governments into the jaws of that which feeds them. ... It has long, however, been my opinion, and I have never shrunk from its expression...that the germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal Judiciary; ...working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little today and a little tomorrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped. ... The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our Constitution from a coordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone."

--Thomas Jefferson

I would like to add a rider that I proposed many years ago, namely: No federal court shall have jurisdiction over the killing of children in the womb or partly in the womb except as such children shall have the right of due process before being deprived of life or harmed by surgical procedure or other intervention. The rights of such children and the women who bear them and their remedies shall be regulated and determined in each state under the laws concerning homicide and assault and battery as a public wrong and wrongful death and assault and battery as a private wrong as those rights are reserved to the states by the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and governed by statutes of the individual states and at Common Law.

Sounds good. How about a bill that limits federal jurisdiction to decide that marriage is anything other than the union of a man to a women?

Even though the introduction of this bill received little national media attention, it is the most important legislation in the last fifty years.

For your perusal, children.

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