Bill limits federal courts



Would stop judges from ruling on abortion, same-sex marriage cases



Call it the 10th Amendment Restoration Act.

A bill introduced by Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, promises to return to the
states those issues federal courts, by their decisions, "have wrested from
state and local governments."

H.R. 4379, the We the People Act, would remove from federal courts'
jurisdiction any case involving religious liberty; sexual practices,
orientation or reproduction; and same-sex marriage.

H.R. 4379, the We the People Act, would remove from federal courts'

To clarify jurisdictional issues, the bill states federal courts,
including the U.S. Supreme Court, are not prevented from "determining the
constitutionality of any Federal statute or administrative rule or procedure
in considering any case arising under the Constitution of the United
States."

To add to the impact of the legislation, Paul included a provision
saying no past federal ruling dealing with the three prohibited areas should
be considered as "binding precedent" on any state court. Also, the
congressman's bill stipulates that any judge violating the law shall be
impeached by Congress or removed by the president.

Call it the 10th Amendment Restoration Act.

A bill introduced by Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, promises to return to the
states those issues federal courts, by their decisions, "have wrested from
state and local governments."

H.R. 4379, the We the People Act, would remove from federal courts'
jurisdiction any case involving religious liberty; sexual practices,
orientation or reproduction; and same-sex marriage.


Paul's bill, most recently introduced Nov. 17, notes:

"Article I, section 8 and article 3, section 1 of the Constitution of
the United States give Congress the power to establish and limit the
jurisdiction of the lower Federal courts," and "Article III, section 2 of
the Constitution of the United States gives Congress the power to make 'such
exceptions, and under such regulations' as Congress finds necessary to
Supreme Court jurisdiction."

To clarify jurisdictional issues, the bill states federal courts,
including the U.S. Supreme Court, are not prevented from "determining the
constitutionality of any Federal statute or administrative rule or procedure
in considering any case arising under the Constitution of the United
States."

To add to the impact of the legislation, Paul included a provision
saying no past federal ruling dealing with the three prohibited areas should
be considered as "binding precedent" on any state court. Also, the
congressman's bill stipulates that any judge violating the law shall be
impeached by Congress or removed by the president.

Paul explained his bill on the floor of the House of Representatives
when it was introduced in the last Congress, in March 2004.

"Some may claim that an activist judiciary that strikes down state
laws at will expands individual liberty," Paul stated. "Proponents of this
claim overlook the fact that the best guarantor of true liberty is
decentralized political institutions, while the greatest threat to liberty
is concentrated power. This is why the Constitution carefully limits the
power of the federal government over the states."

Continued Paul: "In recent years, we have seen numerous abuses of
power by federal courts. Federal judges regularly strike down state and
local laws on subjects such as religious liberty, sexual orientation, family
relations, education and abortion. This government by federal judiciary
causes a virtual nullification of the Tenth Amendment's limitations on
federal power. Furthermore, when federal judges impose their preferred
policies on state and local governments, instead of respecting the policies
adopted by those elected by, and thus accountable to, the people, republican
government is threatened. . Congress must act when the executive or judicial
branch threatens the republican governments of the individual states.
Therefore, Congress has a responsibility to stop federal judges from running
roughshod over state and local laws. The Founders would certainly have
supported congressional action to reign in federal judges who tell citizens
where they can and can't place manger scenes at Christmas."

Paul's isn't the only bill pending in Congress that seeks to limit the
jurisdiction of federal courts. The Constitution Restoration Act, sponsored
in the House by Rep Robert Aderholt, R-Ala., and in the Senate by Sen
Richard Shelby, R-Ala., would prohibit federal courts from ruling in cases
involving government officials who acknowledge God "as the sovereign source
of law, liberty or government." The bill was birthed in the aftermath of the
ouster of former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who was sanctioned by the
courts for acknowledging God by way of a Ten Commandments monument in the
state's judicial building.


The We the People Act, which was referred to the House Committee on
the Judiciary, has no co-sponsors.

Wrote columnist and Constitution Party vice presidential candidate
Chuck Baldwin in reference to H.R. 4379: "If we had 218 congressmen such as
Ron Paul in the House of Representatives, we could change the course of the
country in short order."
