One of the most amazing things I have seen in the past month is the willingness of our Congress to accept the Supreme Court as a higher authority in the land than they are. Senator Spectre, (RINO-PA) called them the highest authority in the land. Now Congress wants to approve a bill they know is bad so they can count on SCOTUS to kill it. That's like mommy telling a kid to ask daddy when she knows the idea is bad so daddy will be the bad guy.
Congress, POTUS, and SCOTUS are co-equal. They have different roles and responsibilities, but neither is above the other and each is checked and balanced by the other two. When Congress passes a bill that they know SCOTUS will strike down, they cede their legitimate Constitutional authority to SCOTUS. Likewise, if POTUS signs it knowing SCOTUS will strike it down, he cedes his legitimate Constitutional authority to SCOTUS. If they keep this up, our nation will become an oligarchy (which it nearly is now).
The larger Constitutional issue than even this assault on our freedom of speech is this assult on the separation of powers. Conservatives have got to start demanding that the people they elect do their duty and maintain the delicate balance of powers that our founders intended. Otherwise, this great governmental experiment will fail.
Shalom.
