On January 5, 2007, Ron Paul introduced on the House floor his proposed H.R.300: To limit the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, and for other purposes.

It would prevent the Federal Courts from hearing appeals of redress for wrongs, based upon the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment for any claims:
  • involving the laws, regulations, or policies of any State or unit of local government relating to the free exercise or establishment of religion;
  • based upon the right of privacy, including any such claim related to any issue of sexual practices, orientation, or reproduction;
  • based upon equal protection of the laws to the extent such claim is based upon the right to marry without regard to sex or sexual orientation
It is a selectively targeted attack upon the Powers of the Judiciary in an attempt by Paul to force his view of morality upon the country. It should be considered unconstitutional for at least two reasons:
  • it negates part of the 14th amendment's application by simple legislation and not the amendment Process
  • because of its specificity, it is not an equal application of the law
