HOW DO THE DEAD VOTE?
“Not only can Congress overturn or modify judicial decisions”
Wrong.
There is no constitutional or legal basis for that. They can defy a ruling (like anyone else could - illegally, and unconstitutionally, but probably beyond enforcement), or they could pass a new to be in force until the court strikes it down as well (as legislatures areas like D.C have done repeatedly to enforce unconstitutional gun control measures).
Congress can’t just declare someone innocent who is found guilty by a court - they cannot modify or overturn court decisions like some kind of veto power. The closest thing would be to pass a new law on the topic (which would itself be subject to court review).
“HOW DO THE DEAD VOTE?”
Democrat.
