I’m at a loss - what DO you do when the self-anointed “final” arbiter of the law is lawless?

Write another law? An amendment that they’ll ignore?

The founders provided for impeachment, but that hasn’t worked or even been attempted but a couple of times.

I think it’s time to dust that one off, though.

It is the correct constitutional remedy, however, it will never happen.

Cruz has proposed the only short-term solution, short of Rebellion/war, that has any chance of success of occuring and providing a positive outcome.

Ya, well, it has been stated that there is a fourth branch of the government - the states. It is in the constitution. The fourth branch can get together to do what is necessary, amendment, constitution convention, or start with the declaration of independence.

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,... That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. ... But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
