The Constitution already has a remedy to stop judicial activism. Congress has the power to create a law that is exempt from judicial review.

I agree that Congress has the power to create a law that is exempt from judicial review. But when has Congress exercised this right? I cannot think of an instance. Even assuming Boehner, McConnell, and the congressional GOP developed a spine and drafted legislation restraining judicial authority over marriage, Senate Democrats, along with some RINOs, would filibuster it even if a Republican were in the White House in 2017.

The Article V convention effectively bypasses the current Federal structure. Granted, this method was never used, but it is available if state level Republicans and the few pro-life Democrats that may still be around in places like Pennsylvania and Kentucky act quickly.

Of course. However, until the Constitutional Conservatives can build their power, it won't happen with the Rinos dominating the party. Still, I'm encouraged to see so many true conservatives fighting the system.

You won't find many here that believe that. I have argued with several who don't back when B1 Bomber Bob was scuttled.
