Doesn't matter with this new ruling. The judge based it on free speech grounds. The bills passed today are essentially moot until this ruling is overturned.

Congressman Mark Kirk of Illinois said they already knew that this judge was going to make a first amendment ruling and that they were going to pass a new bill anyway. Besides, all Congress has to do is to pass the bill with language stating that the courts have no juridiction in the matter.

It doesn't work that way. Congress has no constitutionally delegated power to put a leash on the courts like that. If they did, it would be a loophole in the balance and separation of powers big enough to sail the Titanic through, and the Framers of the Constitution weren't that stupid.

If Congress CAN say courts have no jurisdiction on DNC bill can they do the same with abortion?
