But, see, this is what I mean. Of course I'm not worried about the law, everybody with even a glancing familiarity with civics knows that you can't make a law like this, certainly everyone who voted for it in the house knows that telling the courts what cases they can and can't hear would be utterly illegal.

This is purely political theater, purely election politics, purely in hopes of taking advantage of voters who do not have any understanding of the law, don't realize that this vote in totally meaningless as far as law goes, as if they voted to make everybody fly and crap brand new cars.

Now I understand that politicians during an election year are pretty low, but for LAWMAKERS to be able to say with a straight face "Sure, I'll take a crap on the american constitution if it can win us a few votes" is really shameful, and it raises the question, what wouldn't these sacks of crap be willing to do if they thought they could get away with it? Is there ANYTHING that they'd look at and say "No, no I wouldn't do that even for votes, even for winning the presidency, it woould b wrong to do that."?
