That's about as far as I can go in describing my astonishment. Some congressmen think they can pass a law making it unlawful for the Supreme Court of the United States to review a piece of federal legislation or state courts' action on it. I don't know whether to be angry at their arrogance and bigotry or pity them for their stupidity. The former, I think, because I have to assume they're not actually stupid and are offering the legislation for propaganda purposes because they think their constituents will be stupid enough not to know it's unconstitutional prima facie.
Wow.
