Pass the Constitution Restoration Act (CRA)

Pass the Constitution Restoration Act (CRA)

THE BILL TO RESTORE OUR CONSTITUTION!

This important bill will restrict the jurisdiction of the U.S. Supreme Court and all lower federal courts to that permitted by the U.S. Constitution, including on the subject of the acknowledgement of God (as in the Roy Moore 10 Commandments issue); and it also restricts federal courts from recognizing the laws of foreign countries and international law as the supreme law of our land. The new Senate bill is S. 520, introduced by Senators Shelby, Brownback, and Burr, and the House version is H.R. 1070, introduced by Rep. Aderholt and 24 cosponsors. Help pass this bill by asking your Senators and Congressman to become co-sponsors of the bill and to urge fast action to get committee votes. Please act today.

Sounds like a good way to yank the leash on the Supreme Judicial Perverts.

Good Luck.

Let me know when congress can control their own constitutional excesses, much less reign in somebody else.

What happens when the courts rule the CRA "unconstitutional"?

The whole dang government is unconstitutional. I can prove it.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Since the Judiciary uses Judicial Review to say what is and what isn't constitutional, how long will the CRA last?

Passing a bill to limit the Judiciary to the very Constitution that the Judiciary has unconstitutionally altered over the years is a fool's game that's only use is to pacify the people.

If the Congress ever wants to gets serious about reining in the Judiciary it should amend the Constitution to limit judges terms, and use "nullification" on those Supreme Court rulings it finds unconstitutional.

There can be no separation of powers when one branch of government assumes the mantle of overlord, and the other branches of government genuflect before it.

You are right. However, Congress can impeach Supreme Court Justices.

I Don't believe you are wrong IMO, the SCOTUS should however be restricted by the Constitution. If they do not accept those restrictions then impeachment is justified and a legitimate course of action. A review of "good behavior"!

Unfortunately this law is a ill-conceived as those about gun control. Outlaws do not obey the law so new laws will not deter them. The government and the courts are already violating the constitution so they are not likely to alter their behavior after passage of yet another new law.

a waste of time for the congress...

they already have the power to reign in the judiciary through impeachment... those that act against the principles of our constitution need to go...

the peoples reps need to show their displeasure.

I was going to write my Senator, but he's a sponsor (Brownback).

It will just be declared unconstitutional by the Oligarchy court.

Do you think we could get one together that would extend this to Congress as well?

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the Supreme Court shall not have jurisdiction to review, by appeal, writ of certiorari, or otherwise, any matter to the extent that relief is sought against an entity of Federal, State, or local government, or against an officer or agent of Federal, State, or local government (whether or not acting in official or personal capacity), concerning that entity's, officer's, or agent's acknowledgment of God as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government

What happens when some "officer or agent" of government declares that "mother earth" is God and starts seizing people's land pursuant to their "acknowledgment of [mother earth] as the sovereign source of law"? Fourth amendment rights? Forget it. There are all kinds of little hooks like that in the proposed legislation. It is a horrible bill.

Both my Senators are screaming RINO's with only the slightest passing knowledge of the Constitution so asking for their support is futile. My congresscritter has a 96% party line voting record for the democrats so asking him anything is also a waste.

I will gladly sign on to A Constitution Restoration Act if the Congressmen and Senators will add restrictions on all their unconstitutional spending and all their unconstitutional actions. Until then it's pure political BS.
