introduced a new House bill, HR 3920, to allow Congress to override Supreme
Court decisions. No, seriously. Ron Lewis' bill, cheerfully titled, "The
Congressional Accountability for Judicial Activism Act of 2004," was
introduced without much fanfare, perhaps because it's one of the dumbest
ideas ever.

> Lewis' bill proposes to let Congress, by a two-thirds vote of each house,
override any Supreme Court decision that presumes to review the
constitutionality of an act of Congress. In a recent press release, Lewis
notes the shenanigans of "activist judges," such as those on Massachusetts'
Supreme Court.who recently ruled that it's discriminatory to prohibit gay
marriages.even though his proposed legislation does nothing to address state
Supreme Court decisions. He even concedes that a "more comprehensive
solution" would be necessary to address the gay marriage issue. But absent a
more comprehensive solution, he's willing to waste everyone's time debating
a useless one.

case, as evidence of "judicial . overreaching," even though federal
appellate court decisions are also not covered by his legislation.
