I’m confused. Are prohibition and the income tax supposed to be examples of the other branches ignoring the SC? The income tax was struck down originally as unconstitutional and an amendment had to be passed. Seems like the SC was followed there. I’m not aware of prohibition coming before the SC before the amendment passed.

Judicial Review is such firmly settled precedent at this point that people would be mightily upset at the thought of taking it away.

So you see the legislative branch as able to lay checks on the executive and the judicial branches. Who checks their power then?

we the people, that is why Congress is up every 2 years.

Our Constitution is written for a Moral and Religious people, it will serve no other. The sooner we eliminate Judicial Precedent the better. Also the USSC of Despots ruled that the 16th amendment provided NO NEW TAXING AUTHORITY. They also ruled the the Legal Definition of Income is CORPORATE PROFITS, They also ruled that money earned solely because of the existence of Government was Income (lawyers,police,politicians.....)

seems to me The Congress and Executive Branch has been ignoring the USSC since 1913, hell the USSC even ignores itself with regards to precedent, especially with regards to Income.

are you a Corporation or an Individual
