IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Mr. LEWIS of Kentucky (for himself, Mr. DEMINT, Mr. EVERETT, Mr. POMBO, Mr. COBLE, Mr. COLLINS, Mr. GOODE, Mr. PITTS, Mr. FRANKS of Arizona, Mr. HEFLEY, Mr. DOOLITTLE, and Mr. KINGSTON) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by

A BILL
To allow Congress to reverse the judgments of the United States Supreme Court.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the `Congressional Accountability for Judicial Activism Act of 2004′.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL REVERSAL OF SUPREME COURT JUDGMENTS.
The Congress may, if two thirds of each House agree, reverse a judgment of the United States Supreme Court–
(1) if that judgment is handed down after the date of the enactment of this Act; and
(2) to the extent that judgment concerns the constitutionality of an Act of Congress.
SEC. 3. PROCEDURE.
The procedure for reversing a judgment under section 2 shall be, as near as may be and consistent with the authority of each House of Congress to adopt its own rules of proceeding, the same as that used for considering whether or not to override a veto of legislation by the President.
SEC. 4. BASIS FOR ENACTMENT.
This Act is enacted pursuant to the power of Congress under article III, section 2, of the Constitution of the United States.
The “Mr. POMBO” is Richard Pombo, congressman from here in California. I suspect that the “Mr. Doolittle” is John Doolittle another congressman from California. Both of them are slimy conservative rightwing cocksuckers who will do whatever is necessary to fuck up California and the United States.
Call or write to your congressman and senators and tell them to put a stop to this bill.
NOTE from 2/11/06: HAH! Those miserable goatfuckers Pombo and Doolittle are both ass deep in the Abramoff scandal and, if there is any justice in the universe, will get hung high and lose the next election. Or better yet, the Democrats will take over and put their slimey Republican asses in jail.
