And,of course,any such laws passed by Congress would be subject to Constitutional scrutiny by the Federal courts as are all other laws passed by Congress.

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.

We’ve seen how well Federal courts ‘scrutinize’ bills passed by Congress.

ACA was re-WRITTEN by Roberts; let alone the STEP 1 question of ANY bill was never asked, let alone answered: By WHAT authority (the power to tax != authority).

We’ve also seen just how well Congress ‘scrutinizes’ courts re: their judicial over-reach (WHEN exactly & how often are judges impeached??). Let alone their ‘oversight’ as we’ve recently seen in the failed coup (FISA rubber stamping nearly every FBI request &, when it’s found out, nary a PEEP was made to the fraud??).

Well,regarding Federal courts and 2A...a couple of years ago SCOTUS handed down a decision on a case called "Caetano v Massachusetts".

Caetano was challenging the constitutionality of a Massachusetts law...passed by its legislature and upheld by the state Supreme Court...restricting 2nd Amendment rights.

In the decision SCOTUS noted that the state Supreme Court's ruling on the law was "frivolous".IMO that word is about as strong a rebuke that SCOTUS would ever level against a lower court.

And BTW...the ruling was 9-0 in favor of Caetano.

That gives me hope regarding SCOTUS at least.
