H.R. 97
From Ramesh Ponnuru in National Review Online's "The Corner":
Rep. Tom Feeney (R., Fla.) has a resolution expressing the sense of the House "that judicial interpretations regarding the meaning of the Constitution of the United States should not be based in whole or in part on judgments, laws, or pronouncements of foreign institutions unless such foreign judgments, laws, or pronouncements inform an understanding of the original meaning of the Constitution of the United States." I wouldn't be surprised if he started to pick up more co-sponsors after yesterday.

I guess that's nice, but we all know most resolutions (even sense of the House resolutions) aren't worth the paper on which they are printed. What Feeney needs to do is introduce a bill to limit the court's jurisdiction in this matter. There are Constitutional remedies for this problem, all that is required is the will to exercise them.
I agree... Resolutions are style over substance.
