SCOTUS said that was unconstitutional. Because naturally.

One of the things that was most interesting, to me, when Neal Gorsuch took his seat at the high table was his questions on what the Constitution actually said in questioning on a case. Ginsburg's counter was that things like, 'One man, one vote' were decided by SCOTUS, not included in the Constitution, and therefore what the Constitution says is not the most important issue. (And she's actually on the SCOTUS!!)

The Constitution says - literally - that the Congress shall have the sole power to make laws. Yet precedent (stare decisis) is always judge-made law. As such, it is always suspect and should never be considered until the plain language of the Constitution and Congress-passed law are addressed.

Yet that would take power away from the judges at all levels, including the Supreme Court. What angers me is that we let them get away with it.
