Marshall and J. Blackman want you to believe, but if Congress wanted to be an *ss and the president did too, I have no doubt the Supreme Court could be overturned. It also sounds like some in the house are <a href="http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1085626349270" rel="nofollow">communicating</a> their dissatisfaction with the Judiciary. The stitch in time switched just enough opinions on the SC, I think that a Congress and President loaded to bear has just that much power. If November 10th, the Rs retain the Presidency and add maybe a seat or 2 in the Senate and hold the house, hang on to your hats and glasses if the SC tries anything, and I bet the SC knows it. Congress has to accept the Supreme Court’s landmark abortion decisions (Roe and Casey) as correct statements of constitutional law; Congress can’t just say that those cases were wrongly decided.
