I’m unclear what the practical effects would be, but I do know that the Constitution gives the Supreme Court no direct power to overrule a specific act of congress.
Not to say they wouldn’t try to assume such a power, as they have unconstitutionally assumed others. But there is no constitutional justification whatsoever for the Court to even review an impeachment, for example, much less override it. The impeachment power has no limit placed on it other than the good sense and decency of the Congressmen. (And of course their concern about the reaction at the next election.) As with amending the constitution, the executive and judicial branches of government just have no role. (Other than the Chief Justice presiding when the President is tried. And even then he merely presides, he has no vote.)
Please indicate the section of the Constitution that would authorize the Court to do any such thing. The Court rules on cases that make their way up through the system, usually over a number of years. They don’t sit down to review the actions of Congres the previous day. Or at least they aren’t supposed to.
the federal court system has made ITSELF the MOST POWERFUL of the 3 branches of government by judicial fiat.
for example "interstate commerce" has been BADLY abused. as the LIB judges see it, ANYTHING can be in "interstate commerce" & thus a "federal issue"
you might also check out some of the court's decisions on:
1. "right to work",
2. the NRA of the 1930s,
3. labor organizations/the Taft-Hartley Act &
4. other "state & local" issues that were NOT part of the Constitutional mandate of the courts.
