It's about time somebody reined in these looney Leftist judges. Far too many are clearly incompetents who have risen far above their level of intelligence and are clearly just on power trips.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Good !

307-119 and 260-161. THAT shows just how far off into the Twilight Zone of Liberalism the courts have wandered.

[Texas_Jarhead]

well alright, some good news for a change

[skeeter]

Courts have checks & balances, too.

Probably the only way the increasingly conservative majority can get around the entrenched 'progressive' element in the judiciary.

[LiteKeeper]

YEAH - SPOTREP

[mathluv]

This is fantastic news!

[Tribune7]

Great news. About time.

As Rep. Hostettler noted, Federalist No. 78 makes it clear the Founders intended the courts, possessing neither the power of the purse nor the sword, to be the weakest branch of government.

A Congressman quoting from the Federalist? I may have to have my blood checked for hallucinogens.

Bump! Good step in the right direction and we need to impeach liberal judges who defy the Constitution and amend the Constitution to give Congress the power to override federal court rulings by a simple majority vote. Both measures should bring much of the judicial activism that occurs on the bench to a screeching halt.

[MissAmericanPie]

I don't see how this is any big cure, when courts don't pay to enforce their rediculous rulings anyway. Congress should impeach these creeps and remove them from the bench.

[mabelkitty]

WOW! This explains why the 9th has been so so so almost normal lately.

[Dan from Michigan]

Hostettler is one of the good ones.

[PatrioticAmerican]

Cool!

[etcetera]

"When Congress believes the judicial branch has acted in error, it has the power under the Constitution to block such court rulings by refusing to fund enforcement of those errant actions."

Great! Can this be expanded in lawyerese to include the judges' paychecks?
