Do you really think that the framers of the Constitution would endorse the idea of the President overturning the laws of the states simply by issuing a statement that he considered them invalid?

I have no more desire to live according to the whims of a conservative autocrat than a liberal one.

And if you're going to bring up the Fourteenth Amendment, that's one I'd repeal in a shot if I could.

That doesn't answer my question. Please show me where the Founding Fathers give that power to unelected judges.

America has been living according to the whims of autocrats since 1933.

And if you're going to bring up the Fourteenth Amendment, that's one I'd repeal in a shot if I could.

So, you DON'T believe that everyone should have equal protection under the law?
