A circuitous court

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision striking down the Pledge of Allegiance as unconstitutional because it contains the phrase "under God," is an outrageous example of judicial activism and overreaching. It also underscores the importance of our third branch of government

I would really like to see come out of Congress a bill forbidding the Federal courts to rule on matters of the establishment clause. I would also like to see this bill clarify the meaning of the First Amendment for the SCOTUS.

Have you emailed Schumer, McCain, Lahey and Daschle? Have you told them that they are derelict in their duties? Informed them that their role is to advise and let the full Senate give consent to the President's nominees. These clowns must hear from all of us. (And it wouldn't hurt if the President started lobbying for his own people!)

I am getting ready to post a thread in breaking news so Freepers get the idea of what we should do.....I heard these suggestions today on FR and they are dang good and need to get an airing at the top of the page.

I will send e-mails, btw. Bush did say the other day that this ruling is why the Senate needs to move on his nominees so that there will be judges that "understand our rights are derived from God."

He needs to use the bully pulpit..call a joint session of congress for crying out loud.

Well shoot why stop there. Why not push for a bill that prohibits the Federal courts from ruling on any matters concerning the Constitution?
