Congress can only overturn the Supreme Court with an amendment to the constitution, which would then need to be ratified by the states. However, Article III Section 2 ends with the following sentence: "In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make." Under this provision, the congress actually has the authority to state that the supreme court (and lower federal courts) do not have the authority to hear particular kinds of cases. If the congress were to exercise their power under this clause, they could literally prevent SCOTUS from hearing abortion cases. However, this would be considered an extreme action and I doubt anybody in congress would do it. Furthermore, it is moot right now because the Senate and President would never pass it.

Your mischaracterization of Dr. Sowell's April 9 column shows that you either did not understand him, or are intentionally distorting his argument.
While Christie is fun to watch while he is battling the unions, he is on the wrong side of just about everything else. He is pro-pork, believes the global warming claptrap, and viciously slanders his own party when he doesn't get his way. Hopefully his "re-elect Obama" campaigning will be enough to be the death-knell of any chances for the Republican presidential nomination.
Glinda, I am strongly pro-life and believe that abortion is wrong in cases of rape. Why should one person be murdered simply because another was the victim of a crime? That said, I am more than willing to compromise. If we could stop the millions of baby murders each year in exchange for continuing to allow abortion in the case of rape, (which make up less than one percent of all abortions), that is a compromise I can live with.
Glinda, you should know that the Guttmacher Institute, which is a big pro-abortion group, estimates that all abortions done because of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother (combined) make up less than one percent of all abortions. Sorry, try again.
Unfortunately, police in the military often act just as bad. A little power goes a long way.
OK Mr. anonymous, provide some facts, names, and dates other than cowardly hidden slander. I don't think the video backs you up at all. And hate to break it to you, but police violate people's rights all the time. I've seen it from both military and civilian police for years.
