What an exercise in sophistry! As if Congress has been acting Constitutionally this whole time. Lets face it they are the worst offenders. If it wasn't for the laws that they pass, we wouldn't be in such a quagmire.

Indeed. In today's outrage, the Supreme Court upheld an Act of Congress.

Lets face it they are the worst offenders. Exactly so. While this essay puts forth a number of interesting arguments, not just a little truth, and an interesting plan of action, I submit that it will take a lot more than a nudge to get those 535 @sswipes who call themselves "representatives" to do anything that might cost them money, votes, or require that they actually do a little real work, to actually see any reality in this argument. They are as corrupt or maybe even more so than the US SC and the entire federal judiciary. It will take something catastrophic to change the inertia of this once august body of criminals and miscreants. Anyone who looks to Congress for a redress of grievances is wasting his time.

I think it's just too late to do anything. The majority does not support the Constitution, or care.
Over half of the eligible voters in this country do not vote. They don't vote because they see no difference between the candidates. If our own conservatives refuse to follow the Constitution, how can we expect the liberal courts to do so?
We get the shaft no matter who we vote for. Eventually this will lead to rebellion, but that will probably be many decades down the road.
We are living in an authoritarian socialist state. We can only try to survive until the socialists bring the country down, like they have in every other country in history.
Maybe next time people will remember to resist authority.

Lets face it they are the worst offenders for the reasons you claim to be sophistry.
The are the worst offenders for allowing a federal judiciary to run unchecked as described in the article and in post # 15.
