1) I just love being talked down to by Ustwo..... (read in a Foghorn Leghorn voice? was that really necessary or can I assume you are talking down to me, because I saw no humour in it, just ego and a person trying to act superior.)
2) Your explanations do not dispute anything previously mentioned, in fact as roachboy pointed out, it only proves that the fears need to exist. For example, the Godfather clause, the poll taxes, gerrymandering, and so on all laws passed and upheld by different SC would thus be thrown out? That sounds pretty damned sad to me.
This also coming from a person who chose to insinuate Wicca to Heaven's Gate and one who challenges sources yet refuses to offer up sources when asked himself. Or even on this thread where a judge legislated from the bench and you have refused to say the judge was wrong, yet you like this bill because it prevents judges from "making laws" (legislating).
So you want judges to legislate they way you want them to, but not if you don't like the outcome. That is what your silence and your insinuations and challenging of the news articles tells me. It is ok for you to have a judge tell parents they can't allow their child to partake in their religious worship (which is a RIGHT guaranteed by the Constitution) but not to have (how many judges with ALL the facts and having heard both sides equally) decide the Schiavo case?
Which judge's legislation is ok then and which isn't? One case wasn't even Federal but the GOP tried in vain (including demonizing judges and grandstanding) to make it so?
If you are to go by the Constitution, then there is an express and purposeful seperation of powers and yet this legislation supresses that seperation.
Also, sending a judge to prison because he didn't rule the way who wants? Obviously there will be a who involved to watch over and hold the judges to this law, so who is to be that power? Congress?
So when Dems. come back into power and all of a sudden judges start making calls you dislike but go by this bill, are you going to convientently forget it was the GOP who pushed for this and cry about how the Dems are misusing the law?
And how do you prevent Congress (either side) especially when they hold the executive branch from abusing the power provided from this bill?
Sorry way too many questions for me, to like this bill or to be silent about it.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
