"As a practicing attorney, I can assure you that the Constitution is for all practical purposes ignored by the courts insofar as it would constrain governmental power, unless a Leftist issue is involved."

Yes, while not an attorney, I have been a political activist and witnessed such "ignored" throughout my political life. However, if an entity were to exist that has the resources to take issues to the USSC, it's worth a try.

Point is, those who have standing against specific legislation that is contrary to Constitutional principles should file suit. Do you not agree?

“A legal entity, with enough money supporting it, could inform that populace through legal action.”

How does it do that?

Also, I’m not sure what kind of legal action you’re talking about. Could you give an example?

It is not clear to me where it is best to focus the scarce resources of conservatives. I am slowly coming to believe that it would make more sense to focus them on the elimination of political enemies. Anti-Constitutional judges are for the most part locked in place as long as they live. Anti-Constitutional politicians can be defeated. When the rule of law is dead, as it is rapidly becoming, what matters most is the character of the leaders. There is still some hope of influencing that variable.
