SEe post 268. The idea that President and Congress have no right, duty or power to interpret the Constitution is wrong.

Oops, see post 287 responding to 268. I don’t know what others have said in this thread regarding the duties of Congress and President to the Constitution, but they do have the duty, the right and the power to interpret the Constitution and apply it. We’ve hurt our nation by allowing the President and Congress to ignore that duty. The Congress will actually, knowingly, pass Constitutionally suspect legislation with some Congressmen saying that the courts will strike it down IF they find it unconstitutional. That is very bad. It removes a bulwark against loss of our rights under our Constitution.
