Cboldt, could you deal with this one? It’s being suggested that Congress could outlaw abortion and say that it’s outside the jurisdiction of the judiciary to rule on the Constitutionality of the law. Saying that if the legislative and executive branches gang up they can keep a law from ever being subject to Constitutional review by the courts. All they have to do is say it in the law, and then the courts can’t touch it.

I appreciate your vote of confidence. But ...

CA Conservative is on my "do not reply," "persona non grata" list.

Please do yourself a favor and google “jurisdiction stripping”. The fact that Congress does not use this to deal with some of the more egregious court decisions like Roe v Wade, Kelo and Obergfell is due more to a lack of political will and/or a veto from a liberal president. It is not because they lack the constitutional power to do so.
