Okay, armchair lawyers (and real ones)...I need a lesson.
According to an article posted, The Bugman of The House of Representatives wants to pass a law that prevents the Supreme Court from hearing cases involving gay marriage.
Is there something I am missing or is that illegal?
The powers of the Supreme Court are defined by the Constitution, and they were deliberately vague and wide ranging. Any attempt to limit the power of the Supreme Court would require a change to this charter...hence a constitutional amendment.
4. IMHO - if you pass a law that states the supremes can't review
the law you are going to make them review it - they don't like people messing with their powers and responsibilities. I say - go for it and piss 'em off! (What idiots!)
