Remember all this talk about Gay marrige and "activist judges" It will destroy our checks and balance system that has kept our government stable for over 200 years.

Nah, seriously. I guess it is one weired congressman asking for that bill. It's common practice in all western governments that even the most stupid and frightening laws are at least presented to the congress. In most cases you don't see a serious talk about it anyway.

SCOTUS must rule this law unconstitutional as it limits the power of SCOTUS which can only be limited by a consititutional ammendment.
