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

So the temptation here is to send contributions to these people's local opponents, CCing the incumbents in the letter of course so they know what they're bringing upon themselves. The further temptation is to spend a weekend putting together an attack ad against the lot of them, and volunteering it for their opponents to air, leaving the extra space at the end for them to splice in "I'm Joe Opponent and I approved this commercial." Seems a tad shifty, but I don't see it as the slightest bit more underhanded than what's been coming out of the other side for the last decade.

I'm so sick and tired of waking up every morning to hear about the latest way our legislative and executive branches are taking a flamethrower to all the principles that used to made this country a place to be proud of. It's high time to remind these guys loudly and painfully who they're supposed to be representing.
