<i>"The people were smart enough to limit the powers of the Supreme Court of the United States. Have you bothered to read the Constitution? The Supreme Court is under the control of the Congress of the United States and the Congress can set limits on the Court. However, the Congress is made up of a bunch of lily livered cowards who have allowed the courts to get out of control for political reasons."</i>
That seems like a bit of a convenient explanation. If congress has not enforced any controll over the courts, it must be because congress is made up of a bunch of cowards, not because the courts are not overstepping their bounds as you say they are.
<i>"As to slavery and segregation, there was an ammendment to the Consitution to eliminate slavery and the civil rights laws were passed in the 60's (if my memory is correct), so the Courts were upholding the laws passed by the Congress not making laws at the whim of liberal judges."<i>
Was Brown v. Board of Education the whim of a liberal judge?
<i>"If you want to legalize gay unions take it to the people and allow them to vote on it. That is the way things have been done in this country since 1776."</i>
Well, even if that is the way it is to be dine, as I've argued, with Bush's amendment that will be quite impossible.
