If I'm reading this right, the law is essentially NOT an amendment to the constitution, but limits the powers granted to the judicial branch of the US Government set out in the consitution.

So essentially, the law gets to last until "activist judges" rule it unconstitutional, and then the "activist judges" get to keep ruling on the items that they're constitutionally charged with.

But I'm not sure if I'm reading it right. Can someone confirm that this is exactly what this bill is set for?

In addendum, all the names you see up there backing this bill: Republicans.
