That was true only until the Supreme Court arrogated to itself the power to define what is Constitutional and just! IMHO, if you want a living Constitution, more decisions like Kelo, Lawrence, decisions citing foreign juris prudence and a new interpretation of the Second Amendment, just ignore the importance of the Senate.

The SCOTUS definitely needs to be brought to heel. That's one of the reasons why I support a marriage amendment to the Constituion. The SCOTUS knows damned well that they can't declare something in the Consitution unconstitutional. By passing an amendment, especially one they probably wouldn't like, it will forcefully remind the judiciary that it is, in fact, the servant of the people, and not their master. They can either enforce the law that they don't want or they can go against it at which point the executive and the legislative branches promptly ignore them and tell them to enforce their decisions themselves.

That said, I will vote against any Senator or rep that supported the Senate amnesty bill.

I see your from the great state of Kentucky.

The SCOTUS definitely needs to be brought to heel.

You can't do that by ignoring the importance of the Senate and helping Mitch McConnell's opponent. Unfortunately, that also implies that you need to vote for the RINOs/CINOs in the general election for Senate. Everyone knows it stinks, but what's the alternative? It's almost guaranteed that allowing the dem to become a Senator will make things worse.

This is not an analogy, but look at NY. Not too long ago, it had a relatively conservative dem, Moynihan, and Al D'Amato(R). Talk about their replacements. With Clinton and Schumer, it's unreal. If you want to take down a RINO in the Senate, do it in a primary, pretty please?
