Doesn't any one else see the irony in introducing legislation to curb the wishes of the Supreme Court? Somebody's gonna file suit, whatever the legislation says. Eventually the Supreme Court will decide whether the legislation is constitutional or not, i.e., whether five of the sitting justices favor the legislation in question.

When the constitution of Madison, Hamilton, & Jefferson is no longer regarded as relevant in deciding cases, why should a piece of legislation by John Cornyn make any difference at all? It's nice to be a paid legislator (great pension and perks) but he's delusional if he thinks he's making the law of the land. That's done across street by the guys wearing the neat black robes.
