A Bill has been introduced to allow congress to reverse the decisions of the Supreme Court. So much for separation of powers!

I can see it all now. Congress passes the law, the Supremes declare it unconstitutional and then Congress reverses Supremes' decision. Congress proceeds to introduce bills to revoke every civil and individual rights based SC decision since 1851. Gunfire erupts at the Rayburn building and an angry mob of congressional aides clashes with Supreme Court interns across the reflecting ponds at the mall while congressmen and senators view it from their office windows.

I might as well buy my ticket for Get Me The Hell Outta Here right now.

I don't think this has a chance. If moderate Reps won't even blink at the FMA, they're certainly not going to urinate all over the Constitution's provisos for checks and balances. Just another power play to appeal to the base. "Don't worry, we won't let no joo-dishal aktuvists let no queers marry!"

Of course. Its remains no less disgusting that politicians can wave the flag with one hand while using the constitution to wipe their bottoms with the other.

You and me both. I want to be a citizen of a civilized country.

Don't buy tickets; that will just let them know our intentions.

So what are we supposed to do, sneak across the border?

Yes. We're close enough to Canada, but poor lordrunningclam might have to kayak to Cuba.
