Congress’ authority is paramount, political and partisan, and that we get what we elect

So judicial review is now a thing of the past. Goodbye Marbury v Madison. This means we only need the SCOTUS a few weeks a year for obscure interstate squabbles.

Fine with me. I am tired of this ineffectual blackrobed oligarchy form of gubbermint.

I have often railed against the fact that the nine in black are our real rulers, with lifetime terms and no way to blunt them short of a constitutional amendment which is the same as to say no way to blunt them at all.

It appears that based on this ruling and the Arizona one that Roberts has decided his court is going to be a do-nothing court, deferring to the people's elected representatives in congress. In many ways, this is good and long overdue. However, if when presented with unconstitutional legislative overreaches Roberts is so determined to uphold them that he unilaterally grants congress new powers then he is a dangerous character indeed, and has set himself as the real king of America.

Alas, America, you had a good run.
