GOP-led House takes a new shot at gay marriage

Hmm. Interesting.

From MSNBC:

WASHINGTON - The Republican-led House voted Thursday to prevent federal courts from ordering states to recognize gay marriages sanctioned by other states.

Congress wants to strip jurisdiction from the courts? Have they ever done that before? Can they do that? My uneducated guess is that it's not meant as serious legislation, just a way of getting on the record.
