Walt, is it at all possible for the Federal Government to do something unconstitutional or is the Federal government the sole rightful judge of the powers delegated to it? If the President were to say that we will retire the Federal Government's debt by selling all the people in, say, the State of Maine into slavery and confiscating their property and selling that, if the Supreme Court said it was okay with them, does Maine have any recourse, or do they simply have to lay back and take it for the good of the Union?
Just curious.

The Supreme Court is the sole judge of what is Constitutional and what is not. Your question is irrelevant because the Supreme Court would never say it was okay with them to sell Maine into slavery becuase such an action is a clear violation of the 13th Amendment. The justices aren't stupid, you know.
