[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

There is an old proverb that hard cases make bad law.

Judges aren't supposed to make *any* law. That is for the legislature and that is the problem.

This would set a precedent that no state court decision - even those on purely state matters - would ever be safe from the will of congress. And no family would ever be safe from the will of Congress.

At the moment no family is safe from the courts bent on coddling terrorists and criminals, micromanaging education and the workplace, creating gay marriages and on and on. Right now your state legislature and Congress doesn't matter. All the decisions in your life are coming from courts. Don't get it mixed up with federalism. The problem to be addressed NOW is separation of powers at both the federal and state levels.

That's a really, really bad precedent. It means further erosion of the Constitution.

Right now THERE IS NO CONSTITUTION, only the whims of courts that have been wreaking havoc over and over and haven't been questioned since Andrew Jackson.

For all practical purposes, courts have been making laws and frocing them on us. We are sliding towards a dictatorship of judges.
