now they are not even pretending

I saw this on Metafilter today. This ridiculous thing has eleven cosponsors!

It does lead one to the following quandary: If congress passes a law allowing it to override SCOTUS decisions, and then SCOTUS rules the law unconsititutional, can congress override the ruling? A rational conclusion would be, “No, since the law becomes unconsititutional as soon as SCOTUS says so. Congress cannot use it at that point.” But these be hairy times.

In other news, I received my ACLU membership card in the mail yesterday.
