I get this from you: "I would be surprised to learn that anyone with significant government experience would believe the Supreme Court is the only branch tasked with considering constitutional questions."
Ho-kay.... I'll check back later to see if you gave a tad more definitive explanation. Thanks in advance!

I apologize. Based on the condescending nature of your previous post, I didn't realize you expected a sincere response. As far as what each branch should have done...
The House and Senate each had a chance to vote the bill down, and didn't. They should have. The President had a chance to veto the bill, and didn't. He should have. The Supreme Court has a chance to strike the bill down, and I pray that they do so.
Simply put, each branch should have considered the constitution before acting on the legislation. Clearly they neglected that responsibility. On a more philosophical note, perhaps these folks shouldn't blame "the system" for their own corruption.
