“the question of the law’s constitutionality can be conclusively resolved only in the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Bull$*@t!

This small sentence just about made me blow my top. Is this where we’ve come as a society, where morality isn’t defined by reason and logic, but by nine damn justices on a bench, all of whom are chosen by the very people wanting to violate the Constitution?

If so, heaven help us the day our very right to our lives comes up for debate. There’s nothing more depressing than knowing your life is in the hands of a bunch of political thugs.

When there’s a conflict between the Congress and the states, or between the Circuits, it is typically resolved at the SCOTUS.

In this case, the Congress, representatives elected by the people of the various states, passed a law that conflicts with a law in VA. The author of the article, VA’s AG, has also asserted (and so far won) that certain of that federally passed law’s provisions are unconstitutional. Constitutional questions are always brought to the SCOTUS.

How we continue to elect Congressmen who pass these laws, and who fail to exercise ‘morality.. defined by reason and logic,’ is another question.
