Christian Coalition Plots To Strip Federal Courts Of Their Authority To Hear Church-State Cases

U.S. Rep. John Hostettler (R-Ind.) ... flirted with open defiance of the courts, pointing out that federal judges have limited power to enforce their decisions.
“When the courts make unconstitutional decisions, we should not enforce them,” he told attendees. “Federal courts have no army or navy…. The court can opine, decide, talk about, sing, whatever it wants to do. We’re not saying they can’t do that. At the end of the day, we’re saying the court can’t enforce its opinions.”
