Sound like a slogan to me =^D

LOL my friend - I agree 100%. Unfortunately, some misguided Americans are of the opinion that no violation has occurred until the Supreme Court decides it has. For example, the Contitution requires the "Advice and Consent of the Senate [for] Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States." It does not state that it requires the advice and consent of a committee. Any person with half a brain (sorry dims) can understand that the full senate must vote. What is the remedy, or is the Supreme Court the final arbiter on all such issues?

In that same writing, Hamilton also wrote, "the power of the people is superior to both [the legislature and judiciary]". The people wrote the Constitution, via their state's representatives; and ratified it, via their state's convention. The people of each state being superior to their elected representatives, and the states as parties to the Constitution, have the legal right to adjudge violations, and to refuse to abide with unconstitutional laws.

WE the people!! Twenty laws are all that's needed:

The Bill of Rights (10), and
The Ten Commandments.

Surely you're not saying that individual States and/or individual citizens have the right to interperate and/or obey Federal laws as they choose?
