If that's the case then the fault lies with Congress. For all the lawyers Congress has, you'd think that they would do their own vetting of a new law against the Constitution.

They don't have near the kind of accountability to the American public that the actual law-makers have.

I usually sit in the middle politically. I really haven't seen all that many judgements, or whatever they're called, that were out of line once you threw out the politics of the situation and looked at it from a neutral point of view. Sure there's been a few questionable calls and if I was a political animal I can see where I'd be pissed about them, but the Constitution isn't about "me", it's about the United States and it's future.
IMO, of course.
