When our government was created, there were also checks and balances created between the legislative, the executive and the judicial branches, so that no branch could have out-of-control power. What some may not know, is that when the judicial branch recklessly exceeds it authority, to promote its own agenda and/or to ignore the will of the people, then the legislative and executive branch have a check and balance against them. This balance is in the form a constitutional amendment to the US Constitution, which the courts cannot declare unconstitutional. I think now it is time for the people to call for and pass a constitutional amendment outlawing partial birth abortions.

Baloney.

There isn't a single clause in the U.S. Constitution that is immune from idiotic judicial interpretation.

Having said that, I will point out that the judiciary isn't really the problem here. I've said for some time that the Federal judiciary exists only to provide legal cover for legislators who don't have the b@lls to cast votes on controversial issues.

Abortion -- right up to the moment of birth -- will be legally allowed in this country until the day we are overrun by Mexicans and Muslims. You can bank on that.

Why not just let the people decide. Bring up the homosexual amendment and an abortion amendment and end all this. Let us, the people, decide on social issues like these. It's our country. Social issues should be our decision.
