What we need right now is Federal Legislation to counteract this devious Supreme Court decision. And if they should overthrow that with a declaration that the legislation is unConstitutional, then we need a Constitutional Amendment defining American marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman

All you need is for Congress to exercise its Article III, section 2 power to regulate and make exceptions to the appellate power of the Supreme Court.

Amend the Judiciary Act to read, "The appellate power of the Supreme Court does not extend to judicial review of state laws pertaining to marriage or sexual behavior"

Simple majorities, both Houses, no Presidential approval required-it should take a week.

Thanks, great idea.

The Congress could have done the same thing on abortion on January 23, 1973. But they know that only a minuscule fraction of the public knows they have this power, and they would rather wring their hands and pretend that the Supreme Court is entirely to blame for the fact that we have "legal" abortion.

Great idea! Why not amend the Judiciary Act to read:

"The appellate power of the Supreme Court does not extend to judicial review of state or local laws pertaining to the right to keep and bear arms?"

Simple majorities, both Houses, no Presidential approval required-it should take a week.

Stroke of the congressional pen, new 'law' for our 'new style' republic. Whatta concept!
