You’re the one who wants the meaning of the Constitution to be decided by popular vote. That, friend, is beyond “living constitution” and is mob rule - which is to say no rule.

Don’t the people ultimately have the power? Wasn’t America about “self-government”?

Why let people even vote then? Maybe let the educated lawyers pick the representatives and judges, and let the judges pick the President. Get the people right out of the mix.

This questions hits right at the heart of being a republic, with three branches of government, and all the related questions of who has power.

Doesn’t the Supreme Court merely INTERPRET the law, not make it?

So where are the laws made by Congress, for the Supreme Court to decide upon, on who is NBC, including provisions for checking the candidates’ qualifications and remedies for legally preventing some candidates from getting on the ballot?
