Yes. I understand that. I also understand that the supreme Court does not interpret the constitution, they apply the constitution to laws. They are not some God-like Watchtower society, and when they stray, they Must be impeached. We, the people, elect our representation in Congress and are at fault for all of this. I grew up in a military family and was myself a servicemen. I was always taught that the 2nd was put in place to protect against tyranny, but those same people have failed and are quite fine with tyranny as long as it is against "others". In my opinion, they are traitors. Many of the liberals or Democrats are also at fault. We have elected spineless representatives and allowed this to go on for far to long. This country needs a progressive party to survive, or the nationalists will forever destroy it.
That's a pedantic dispute, they interpret the constitution when applying their understanding of the constitution to laws.
Theoretically that would be nice, but getting two thirds of the Senate to agree on anything is unrealistic.
Eh... We don't exactly have a direct democracy, and the bicameral nature of our representative government was created to empower conservatives. This was made even worse by the Great Compromise.
