If they know that it will go to the courts anyway than what do these legislators do all day long but listen to their own drivvle even if it makes no sense, which it doesn't most of the time.

I can't argue with that. LOL But the fact remains, the constitution invests law making powers with elected representatives. They have the constitutional authority to pass about anything they want with one exception, they cannot pass a law whose substance has been already deemed unconstitutional by the court. That is why many are convinced the CFR will be substantially pruned since to court has spoken on similar items in the past. Precedent is sacred in the courts.

Only recent precedent is sacred Tex.
