It is also irrelevant because no Judges is going to rule in favor of reducing their power.

Actually, this is not an issue, because the judges don't have a say, under the Constitution. The Exceptions Clause gives Congress the power to restrict or deny the courts jurisdiction over certain issues. If Congress had the cojones to do this, the courts could not intervene, under the separation of powers doctrine.

If pigs could fly we'd all be walking around with pigsh%t on our heads.

Pigs don't fly and the political will does not exist in Congress to order judges off marriage.
