The whole lower court judicial activism needs to be addressed by the congress. Pass legislation limiting thier rulings to their districts. This will setup a show down in the USSC.
But I have my doudts that the supremes will rule against their own, regardless of the makeup of the court.
What do you mean? Higher courts slap down lower courts all the time!
Justice Thomas penned a strong dissent this past term in which he questioned the legitimacy of some of the over-reaching opinions of lower courts. I've been trying to find it in my notes here, but can't seem to dig it up unfortunately. However, given the personnel change on the court, he might be able to get the court to rule on exactly that. I'm sure there will be opportunities this term. Plenty most likely.
