Another thing that is needed is an ammendment allowing for the states to be able to overturn Supreme Court decisions. I think that if 3/4ths of the state legislatures vote to overturn a Supreme Court decision within two years of its being issued, that Supreme Court decesion should be null and void.

It's a noble effort, but I have serious doubts it will succeed. I think enthusiasm for it will got the way support for a flag burning ammendment or the ERA did. A slow loss of momentum till it becomes non viable.

Thanks for posting this! We really do need to get on board this! Enough is enough!I neither support nor oppose the Amendment. Whether or not the Congress passes and the States ratify this Amendment is fine by me. I'm just intrigued to find out the dimensions & outcome of this historic cultural battle.

The only way the States have of acting in unison on an issue is through Congress (Senate represents the States, House of Representatives represents the people).

Anyone still think this is a losing issue?Winston Churchill (The Gathering Storm, p348):
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be even a worse fate. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

If this makes it out of the Congress, I've counted exactly 38 states [the required minimum] that I think likely to ratify. The key hurdle will be the U.S. House & Senate.

Perhaps. But I'm one of those annoying optimists.....

Well done. I always loved this quote.

t's basically what a constitutional ammendment does now Except that I would omit the involvement of the House and Senate; they are part of the problem. Quite a number of Supreme Court decisions are made favoring concentration of power in Washington DC and against the states. If the Supreme Court knew that it's decisions could be overturned by the collective actions of a supermajority of the states, there would be a greater incentive for moderation in the decisions of the Supreme Court.
