Your wrong on that. Once the supreme court makes their decision on whether something is constitutional or not then it is or isn’t constitutional. That is the way our system has worked from the start.
So if the American people don’t like the supreme courts decision they have two means of changing it. The amendment process, or bring another case and hope the supreme court reverses their decision.
The supreme court has already ruled that Social Security, mediare, etc. is constitutional. You can believe there not but you can also believe that gravity isn’t real and they will both have the same effect, none.
Some of us conservatives want to save our country before it implodes from this deficit spending. If that means we need to raise revenues, than so be it. Let’s first balance the budget, then create a surplus, then start paying down the debt.
That’s rubbish.
What makes something “Constitutional” is the fact that it is consistant with the Constitution, not whatever the Supreme Court decides.
The Supreme Court, as with any court, can (and does) get it wrong. The remedy for a corrupt court is to elect a POTUS and senators who will appoint non-corrupt justices.
A non-corrupt Supreme Court Justice is one whose opinions and rulings uphold the constitution as written or amended. That is their job, period.
A Supreme Court Justice may believe the Constitution is wrong, but however strongly they may believe that, if they make a ruling in conflict with the Constitution, that is a corruption known as “legislating from the bench” and that Justice is violating his oath to uphold the Constitution.
The remedy for that can be impeachment, but a more practical remedy is to elect a President and Senators who have promised to appoint non corrupt Justices, and exclude nominees who legislate from the bench.
The Constitution spells out the limitations of government authority, and therefore the Judicial Branch’s charge to uphold the Constitution is the last bastion against an over reaching and tyrannical government
Our highest priority as voters should be to elect Presidents and Senators who understand the importance of appointing Justices who will uphold the constitution - our liberty and right to self-govern depend on it!
We can’t simply say the law is whatever nine men say it is. The law is the constitution, and those nine men must respect that, or be replaced.
The whole purpose of the Constitution was to place limits on the power of the central government in order to ensure that we remain a self- governing people. To the extent that the government has exceeded those constitutional limits, the government is UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and the Judicial branch has failed its duty to hold the other two branches accountable.
All of the problems we have, including debt, stem from government excesses in violation of constitutional limits, which the Supreme Court should have deemed unconstitutional, but did not.
