Congress can over rule any Federal court decision based on State Law, the State Constitution, or Federal law.
Akuma, why don't you re-read what I originaly did write? I have no idea what you think I meant to go off on the tangent you did. I was referring to congress changing court precident by passing a new law when the president was not based on the Constitution.
I know the Federal government can't pass any laws it wants too. But thanks to FDR, what little it can't directly force onto the states by federal law, it can through court sanctioned blackmail. That's how the US got it's uniform 21 drinking age, because the states would loose federal funding. The States are supposed to fund the Federal government, not the other way around, but the introduction of federal income tax law changed all that.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
