and another doing away with the courts having the last say on interpreting the laws and constitution...

They can already do that, just because they laid down for Marbury-Madison doesn't mean the have to stay dead on the issue.

The Congress has the authority to pass legislation not subject to Judicial review so one might wonder why they don't assert their authority. I have said for years they hide behind courts that implement their true agenda without taking the blame.

Oh, they shall take the blame coming and going as it were.

It is unfortunate the Citizens are mostly ignorant on the true authorities of govt. Most have no clue on the ability of Congress to do just that; IMO, the ignorance is what govt seeks.

No Q&A, news outlet or the like would ever allow the question of “What good is Congress?” for allowing the over-reach, not removing judges a/o not ‘laying down’ for the courts? IE: Hiding behind the Judiciary, as you point out.
