the supreme judge of the law of our land

There is no Supreme Judge, there is a chief justice but he is answerable to the Congress. This idea of Judicial Supremacy is a fairly new idea beginning with Marbury but just because they made a decision does not make it infallible. The President can challenge their authority and so can the Congress, I doubt they would have much luck in todays climate but sooner or later they will have to, ala Jackson.

More will see it I think. Schumer and Pelosi think they outsmarted him. They will really be unhappy when they figure it out. Maybe they can pull another hooker or two that they have been keeping in their nap sacks. At some point, they will run out of them.

you still haven’t done the reading to learn your bias makes you think wrong.

The President’s men in congress wrote sections that provided him a wall

There is no Supreme Judge...

Your intellectual dishonesty continues...I did not argue Supreme Judge, rather I referred to the USSC as the supreme judge of our nation's laws.

Furthermore, your characterization of the Marbury decision as "a fairly new idea" is laughable. Marbury was decided in the 27th year of our 242 year history.

Nonetheless, a President can challenge that court's decision but he does so at significant risk to his office.

You can have the last word, for whatever that is worth.

Has anyone laid eyes on Ryan or McConnell since this bill passed? Hiding in the hills.

Yup.

Figured it out when Ken Starr gave a useless bone to the masses, allowing Clinton to escape real crimes.

The internet later confirmed my gut: Starr shut down Vince Foster murder case, later conspired with Henry Hyde to shut it down - along with other murder investigations - again (the day after 1998 midterms).

Starr is a Swamp Creature: Bad Cop to poor pitiful Billy and Hilly’s Good Cops.

Our government is an organized crime cartel.

I appreciate what you say.

But I haven’t seen anything the President necessarily tweeted.

What I’ve seen is what other people say he has tweeted.

Remember this exchange, if you will. And if President Trump does come out swinging and allocating substantial portions of the spending bill money as he sees fit, drop me a reminder and I will contribute an extra $50 to Free Republic this coming quarter.

Here’s hoping!

More than yours. Just because you have accepted the stupid notion that The Supreme Court is Supreme is not my fault. Marbury certainly encouraged the court to begin eroding the Constitution and Congress has let them. Now district courts have defied all logic and assumed to issue district decisions to bind the whole United States and all the politicians. Guess who has allowed that? The same corrupt Court that you deem superior.

They are only Superior so long as the President and Congress allow them to be. The Superior Court was one of Jackson's biggest fears. Five Judges have assumed the power to do what it takes Two Thirds of Congress and two thirds of the States to do.

The Corpse, as Obama referred to it

That was the Marine 'Corpse' and its Navy 'Corpsemen'.

As long as the GOP has “leaders” like Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, the GOP will continue being Dem lite horse crap.
