the courts have ruled (us)…now let them enforce it

Jurisdiction – How much do they get to rule over?

Sign our Petition to urge passage of the Constitution Restoration Act here: www.ipetitions.com/campaigns/courtzero/

Congress has every right to define the jurisdictional boundaries of the federal courts. That’s how our government was set up to function. It’s in the Article III of the Constitution, and there is nothing radical about utilizing it.

Write to your congressman and senators, as well as the President and urge them to support legislation to better define the jurisdiction of the courts. One bill, the Constitution Restoration Act, is already filed and deals with several issues, such as the Pledge of Allegiance and the display of the Ten Commandments (which is displayed in the Capitol, the Supreme Court Building, and the Library of Congress, incidentally). Perhaps even more important, it deals with whether the courts ought to follow American law or foreign law. This bill is worthy of the active support of anyone who reads this website and appreciates its tone.

Don’t stop there. The jurisdiction of the federal courts can be addressed on other issues as well, such as that of what “marriage” is. A strong piece of federal legislation would leave the matter up to the people and the various states and preclude the need for a Constitutional amendment.

Don’t stop there, either. State courts are just as important as federal courts. Each state has different rules about what the legislature can do to affect the courts’ jurisdictions, the courts’ budgets, and the judges’ salaries. You can contact your state representatives to demand that they confront any state judge who does not respect the will of the people and the laws passed by the people’s elected representatives.
