If the “rule of law” mattered, Marijuana Prohibition could not have happened without a Constitutional Amendment.

When John F. Kennedy was assassinated there was no federal law criminalizing the assassination of a President.

Because a Murder charge was just not enough!

This way of thinking has been dead since before the New Deal. The overwhelming majority of Americans simply defer to the authority of Federally-passed laws of court decisions made by the SCOTUS. Why go through the trouble of adding an amendment when you can simply stack the SCOTUS with ideologues who interpret the Constitution differently?
