Actually, a simple majority in each of 2/3 of the state legislatures can call a new constitutional convention. Anybody know the number of states GWB carried as compared to Al Gore in 2000?

Wouldn't that get things into an uproar!

BTW, there is a much faster route for dealing with these threats. Each of the legislatures and Congress can impeach and remove judges for "hich crimes and misdemeanors."

Frankly, I can think of no higher crime for a judge than to abuse his power to promote his political philosophy.

We are in 100% agreement on this. Too bad the majority of people don't care.

Last weekend, I had dinner with several married couples. When the gay marriage issue popped up, everyone was against it. Nevertheless, the majority were supportive of allowing gay unions and against amending the US Constitution.

So unless we change the makeup of the SCOTUS, I don't see any groundswell for amending the US Constitution every time the SCOTUS hands down an activist ruling.
