If the Supreme Court doesn’t have the power to declare a law uncontitutional and have it enforced, then who does? As much as I hate judicial activism, I much prefer the USSC decide Constitutionality than Congress. After all, why would they declare a law unconstitutional that they themselves passed.

Courts can only rule in individual cases that are before them. They were not granted the veto power by the people via our Constitution. Were they? Can you show me the provisions? Because I just can’t find it.

Only the officers of the executive branch have the power to execute the law.

Who needs the courts to decide costitutionality. They are not the sole arbiters of the constitutionality of any law.

I have decided the Death Care law is unconsitutional for several reasosn, one of which is that it was signed into law by a president unqualified to do that, pursuant to article II.

I have many other reasons as well, one of which is that it was voted without having been read by those who voted in Congress.

I decided long ago it was unconstitutional both in content and in process..And will act accordingly.I encourage all Americans to do so in civil disobedience.
