Not so fast, George
Below are sections 1 and 2 of Article III of the Constitution:
"Article III
Section 1. The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
"Section 2. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects."
Sounds like the Supreme Court decides constitutional issues.
The oaths taken by members of Congress and by enlisting servicemen and women include the words, "...defend the Constitution of the United States...."
Sorry, George, but lots of people are sworn to defend that piece of paper you hate so much.
This is a despicable administration led by a despicable man who sees nothing wrong with the destruction of 230 years' work to expand liberty and rights to all the people of the United States. And the Democrats say nothing and do nothing. Shame on all of us. We are witnessing the death of our democracy. And the fatal wound is self-inflicted.
