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 misdemeanorsWe 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.
That's because the problem is not the Constitution, the problem is judicial activism. This current debate has simply highlighted the problems inherent with how screwy the courts have gotten and the impotence of the general population to stop them.
All the same, I think Stanley Kurtz is correct in his assessment that allowing them to succeed in this regard would be akin to dumping blood in a shark tank as far as our would-be social engineers are concerned.
