But the principle has been part of English Common Law since forever: But not law by fiat. Doing away with courts or harrassing sitting judges is clearly not a good idea for a variety of reasons. But what I would like to see is the next time a judge decides to take over the Kansas City schools because he thinks they're underfunded and sends in the US Marshalls, let the Governor have them met by the National Guard or the State Police, and in the nicest possible terms, tell the judge to go make sex upon himself. THEN, we can have the debate."The Hammer"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16342812251947807673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-64990040996674456542011-12-17T19:07:43.686-05:002011-12-17T19:07:43.686-05:00I'd vote for, in a New York minute, the dude w...I'd vote for, in a New York minute, the dude who will do away with the supreme court. Nine old fogies who don't know their ass from third base about our modern world and so many times coming up with a 5 to 4 decision on a major topic. I can't remember the last 9 to 0 decision but I bet a pack of gum it was meaningless.Uncle Willienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-66624855867485890952011-12-17T11:34:41.694-05:002011-12-17T11:34:41.694-05:00Congress may not override a Supreme Court decision...Congress may not override a Supreme Court decision if the decision interprets the Constitution or an Amendment, Congress can only override the decision by calling for a Constitutional Convention to change that provision of the Constitution or Amendment. (Not likely) If the decision interprets a federal law, Congress can amend or replace the law... In either case what would be wrong with "inviting" the judiciary to come before congress to provide further explanation on how and why they arrived at their disputed decision?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8591018003444406729.post-28174804202149428072011-12-17T07:47:06.749-05:002011-12-17T07:47:06.749-05:00Hammer, I'm glad you brought this up.

It was among the more questionable things Newt talked about on stage that night, and I really wish someone standing up there with him had called him on it. <br /><br />I realize Newt was talking in shorthand, but clearly a man with the knowledge of the Constitution that he has would realize that any such moves would require the enthusiastic assent of Congress.The Conservative Wahoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818674434286683162noreply@blogger.com
