Hartmann: Democrats must use their power over the Supreme Corp

In his post today he notes that Congress has the power of 'court stripping.' The Repugnacons have already done it with the Marriage Protection Act, including a stipulation that stated:

"No court created by Act of Congress shall have any jurisdiction, and the Supreme Court shall have no appellate jurisdiction, to hear or decide any question pertaining to the interpretation of, or the validity under the Constitution of, section 1738C or this section." 

Even though that particular legislation lost in the Senate, the Repugs have introduced court stripping in hundreds of pieces of proposed legislation.

Thom goes on to note that the Constitution grants Congress the power to regulate the Supreme Court, as well as provide exceptions to its powers. And in fact it has already done so, examples provided in Thom's article. In fact, the Texas abortion law used a form of court stripping, hence the Supremes hesitance in challenging it. 

Now if only Democrats, including progressives, had the guts to create laws that strips the Supreme's power to thwart them.
