We need a Constitutional Amendment allowing a 2/3 rds majority of Congress to overrrule any Supreme Court decision relating the Consitutionality of a law.

Then it will be in Congress' hands to do something about this, and Congress won't want to act unless there is a huge uproar from the public.

Even now, as we communicate, there is barely a whimper. No demonstrations, no mass protests, just the sounds of bleating sheep.

That sounds suspiciously like a bill of attainder.

We need a Constitutional Amendment allowing a 2/3 rds majority of Congress to overrrule any Supreme Court decision relating the Consitutionality of a law.

That gives Congress the power to change the Constitution without the consent of the states. they can legliate away all elections and overrule any judicial decision that said otherwise.

The cleaning of gun barrels generates little noise.

That's another way of saying that just because you don't see something going on, that doesn't mean nothing is going on.

Congress already has that power, and it's only a simple majority in both houses and the president's signature. This is absolute authority on the issues a court can address. Congress could take all review of state abortion laws out of the federal purview, and wahlah, abortion is a state issue.

It's already done this to veterans. After the Civil War, Congress passed a law stating any veteran can sue the gov in a benefits dispute, but any lawyer in the case cannot be paid more than $10.00. That's why the American Legion handles disputes with the VA.

Congress can overrule any court decision at any time. It doesn't because we don't make it happen.

I'd like it to be a bigger majority, perhaps 3/4, but I like the idea.
