Lovely. How does that work day to day? When do I get my questionnaire on the issues currently before the SCOTUS?
I understand and heartily agree that we, the people are the final arbiters. I don't see any practical way to put that into action when Constitutional questions arise.

Jury nullification of repugnant laws are the only form of direct power most citizens can ever use; --- aside from the power to vote the rascals out, of course.
The real problem of 'voting em out' arises when, like now, the rinocrats are the only voting option.
Civil disobedience on a massive scale will eventually decide this whole issue, imo. And this will not happen till the Administation/USSC uses "affirmative action/compelling interest" to clearly violate a basic right such as the RKBAs..
-- And it is only a matter of time till they do exactly that...
