Stop the Supreme Court's Control over the Legislative Branch.

I'm completely on board with Thom Hartmann when it comes to his interpretation of the constitution and the power of the Supreme Court. In short, the Supreme court does not have the power to overturn laws made by congress. They may be an equal branch, but they are also controlled by the rules set by congress. Currently, 9 unelected justices, with lifetime jobs that do not answer to the public, can overrule the will of the people. The founders gave the most power to the legislative branch, where the people have the ability to vote out politicians that pass laws they don't like.

That was my summation. If you can point your nearest conservative to this video, do it, where Thom Hartmann explains in detail how the constitution deals with the co-equal branches of government.
