Do you even -try- to read the previous posts in a discussion?

Certainly but it has no effect on what the constitution says. Roe is "the law of the land" but it can't be found in the constitution. Private property can not be taken except for public use but now it can. Sodomy is not a fundamental right but yet it is. I don't give a rats ass what a rogue court did in 1918. Either you put up the language in the constitution granting the judiciary the power to rule on the "constitutionality" of a constitutional amendment or take your condescending bs somewhere else.

No one here has claimed "veto power". -- Judicial review by the SCOTUS is an opinion. Such opinions can only be enforced by other branches of government, - fed, state or local.
The Supreme Court issued its most sweeping decision concerning the Eighteenth Amendment in June 1920. Seven cases, each raising fundamental questions concerning the constitutionality of the amendment, were consolidated by the Court and labeled the National Prohibition Cases.

I don't give a rats ass what a rogue court did in 1918. Either you put up the language in the constitution granting the judiciary the power to rule on the "constitutionality" of a constitutional amendment or take your condescending bs somewhere else.

Article III, Section 2 gives the SCOTUS the power of judicial review of ALL laws in cases arising before them.
In fact, I doubt anyone but you has ever objected to their review of the "National Prohibition Cases", or called them a 'rogue court' for doing so.
