[Rhodes22-list] legislative trick

[Philip]

The Constitution gives the Congress the power to limit the jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court.  The rules are made  by the majority.  The same rules
were in effect for forty years under the Democrats.  I doubt they'll change
it now.

Hi

At long last, Clintion was able to get the line-item veto
for budgets.

It's a shame we can't get a requirement to limit a bill to
ONE SPECIFIC thingy at a time!

Perhaps we can get a Senator to file a suit and let the
Suspreme Court create the rule.   They did a good job in
the 60's & 70's on civil rights when the other two branches
of government were stalled on the issues.
