“If I remember correctly, the Constitution gives Congress the authority to set aside Supreme Court rulings.”

I’ll have to correct my own post. There is some clause in the Constitution that gives Congress the authority to limit the Supreme Court in its rulings, not necessarily the authority to reverse a ruling.

Congress can take away jurisdiction from the Supreme Court to decide cases or subsets of cases.

Just as easy to write a new law and state that it is not subject to Judicial Review.

If executive Orders are so sacrosanct, then what prohibits the president from issuing an executive order to collect all privately owned firearms? I guess we should just gripe a little more.
