“SCOTUS checks congress and the Executive branches. That is supposed to be their job. SOCTUS DOES have the power to decide whether legislation is constitutional or not. Look up “Judicial Right of Review” something that has been done by SCOTUS for well over 100 years.

As for the rest, the constitution has been ignored for FAR too long. Thats why we have to get off our comfy butts and go work to elect representatives that will roll back these unconstitutional measures. Otherwise the only remedy left to us is to replace this form of government.”

You must be dilutional if you think we can or ever will uphold the constitution by election. If that were even remotely the case we would have no need for a Constitution.

As for Justical review yes I understand the court Gave itself that power 200 years ago, although even then the court was not so arrogant to claim it has the only or even final say on the matter.

As Thomas Jefferson himself recoiled upon that sujestion it is utter madness to give the Federal Employees in black robes the final say on the limits of not only the power of their appointers but themselves is to render them limitless in their power and the Constitution as written, amended, and ratified utterly meaningless.

Why are you here if you have so low an opinion? Just give up or what ever... is that what you are preaching?

Forget it. I am not buying that hopeless crap. I am also equally NOT into the alternative that your opinion would seem to lead to. Overthrow of the Federal government.
