I read the article and would agree that the power of Congress to reign in the Supreme Court exists. However, I am not sure that I would want that power to be exercised. Imagine if after passing ObamaCare Congress then passed a joint resolution restricting the Supreme Court from ruling on its constitutionality?

Yes, the sword could swing both ways. IIRC Tom Daschle, back when he was majority leader, had an FAA law written so that it favored an aviation company his wife worked for. The law contained language that prevented judicial review.

As our Framers feared, we have become a debauched people, who have sent far too many dirtbags to govern us. With such people unanchored by morality and devoid of virtue, can we expect Constitutional government?

Also, the Framers never seriously considered a popularly elected Senate. The 17th really screwed things up.

Such a resolution would be contrary to the Constitution, and therefore null and void.
But that cuts both ways, the Judiciary does *NOT* have the power to amend or otherwise alter the Constitution, and on that basis alone they should have been run out of the country for Roe v. Wade.
