I would like to see that congress honor the clear words of the constitution.

The constitution is the foundation, but like an older house the congress wrote new laws that were necessary to deal with the present and future. The Constitution did not mention computers, cell phones and airplanes. The world did stay in the 1700's due to the Constitution tp.

Good grief. -- Do you really believe congress has the power to 'write new law' that in effect ignores or amends the constitution? Go back to school, son.

I think if there could be a reponsible challenge to the law you don't like there would have been a reversal.
