[Middle Man]

If ever proof was needed that the Constitution is moribund, or else cavalierly ignored by the courts, it is when a society feels the need to pass laws that compel judges to obey the supreme law of the land. It should be enough to just invoke the Constitution, but...these are strange times we live in.

I get the feeling that this attempt is to set in Law (since congress has no other way to do it besides Constitutional Amendment which they are alergic to) Congresss'interpretation of the Constitution.

The thing I find amusing about this is that if anyone were to challenge this law, if passed, would probably see it all the way to the same circuit court that the law was aimed at in the first place. I don't know if this is the right way to go about getting the courts out of the legislation game but something has got to be done.
