” until a court declares a law unconstitutional, its the law “

So, are you saying that Congress has no obligation to consider the Constitution when it passes legislation?? Or the Prez - whoever he may be - has no business considering the constitutionality of a bill when he signs it into law??

Funny - I thought they all took oaths to ‘preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution’.....

if you think congress does not pass laws that they know are unconstitutional, it ain’t true

the war powers act was passed - most experts think its unconstitutional - but until its challenged in court, its the law of the land
