Justice Roberts merely reminded us that Congress’ authority is paramount, political and partisan, and that we get what we elect. In point of fact, he’s right, our remedy is not in his court, but in the election process.

Well, in that case I've been believing in a fallacy my entire life, because I had no idea that Congress can do absolutely anything it wants to. Indeed, I thought that one of the primary purposes of the Supreme Court was to tell the other branches when they have gone too far.

"Checks and balances" is what I thought they called it, right? Isn't that what the lefties have been lecturing us about all our lives? If Congress can do anything it wants to, I'm not sure why we even need to have a Supreme Court at all.

Glad I read your comment before commenting as I would have said nearly the same thing. I’m just sick.
