“The Supreme Court overrules Congress all the time. Where have you been”

No, they don’t.

Probably 70% of what the federal government does — by Congressional enactment — is unconstitutional.

Since FDR threatened the Supreme Court with the “court packing scheme,” the Supreme Court has bowed down and kissed Congress’ butt.

If the Supreme Court did not defer to Congress, 70% of what the federal government does would have been ruled unconstitutional.

There are very, very few — but very high profile — exceptions when the Supreme Court thinks that the power of Congress as exercised CLASHES with a clear fundamental right of individuals.

So if Congress tramples on fundamental constitutional rights of individuals, the Supreme Court will restrain Congress’ encroachment on actual constitutional rights.

And there is a huge liberal bias here.

The liberal bias is one reason why the Supreme Court will never find Ted Cruz ineligible. It doesn’t fit their liberal bias.

But 99.99999% of the time, the Supreme Court bows down to the floor and licks Congress’ boots.

If the DNC seriously challenges Cruz’s eligibility and all he can show is a Canadian BC and a passport they will keep him off the ballot. I don’t think Trump wants to fool with is as Cruz brings nothing to the table for him. He will win TX easily and he will either have 1237 delegates or so close Kasich can push him over the line on the first ballot.
