    So we can just ignore the Constitution when the laws are outdated and don’t make sense anymore? Cool. Let’s do gun control.

      Where did I say that we can just ignore the constitution? Hell, I’ve been downvoted to hell on Reddit for suggesting that rights to firearms is restricted for militias…

        My comment is on the opinion, not on you.

      The Constitution says “The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.” SCOTUS isn’t ignoring the Constitution for once.

        Noteably, SCOTUS doesn’t legislate, nor are they “Congress”. If there is a law saying as much (states can’t control primary ballots), though, sure.

          Yeah, SCOTUS can’t remove a candidate for insurrection. The only way is if Congress passes a law describing who is.
