WIJG: So, if the Democrats capture both houses of Congress, pass a law (by a veto-proof margin ;>) declaring Hillary ‘Queen for Life,’ and the high court refuses to consider the case, you would insist that the law (and the Clinton monarchy it established ;>) was constitutional?

queenhillaryscourtjester: Until the Court has ruled on a law it is constitutional by default whether you or I like it or not.

Really? Care to quote the article, section, and clause of the U.S. Constitution that says so? Pretty please? With sugar on top?

;>)

Playing silly games with sophistic absurdities doesn't help anything.

The government law in my example (establishing a monarchy without amending the Constitution) was undeniably unconstitutional, and yet you insist that it would be constitutional. It is your view of 'constitutionality' that is 'absurd'...

Not that I would ever accuse you of being serious.

I can safely say that you are one of the most mindless human beings I've ever encountered. Congratulations for reaching the bottom of the barrel!

To: Who is John Galt?
The presumption in the Constitution is that Congress passes a law which becomes valid and in operation when the president signs it. What do you think happens? It remains valid until someone challenges it in a court filing. What do you think happens? Then the courts rule upon it one way or another until it goes all the way to the SC or it declines to change a lower court ruling. What do you think happens?

Why have I never seen the headline "South Carolina legislature declares federal Income Tax law unconstitutional" OR "Massachusetts legislature declares federal census law void" ?

You have often claimed that the Secessionists legitimately violated the Union though Secession was patently unconstitutional. Why so picky now? As regards your absurd example should such a ridiculous thing happen it would immediately be challenged and declared void by the courts.

Why would you waste your time arguing with one so "mindless" as I? Obsession, fascination, a life boring beyond belief?
Funny I found a picture of you at the bottom of that barrel. It stayed there after I came up.
