I saw on another thread that you are a lawyer. I thought you might be able to add something to this and give some background on the Supreme Court's power grab.

Thanks

Ooof. That is a 20 page paper. I don't quite have the time to do that. A couple quick comments, yes the SC is the final arbiter of the Constitution, but that does not mean that they are our overlords. They can be impeached, and that is a check on their power. Congress can also change the nature of the Court to some degree, cahnge some of its jurisdiction, things like that. Its all part of the checks and balances. All that is meaningless though if Congress is either as corrupt as the Court or if Congress is spineless.
