Plea to the President

[Sam Spade]

This is an unnecessary and rather caustic plea.

The court must be given time to discuss the case and render its decision, which I trust it will at the earliest possible moment.

[Sam Spade]

If it is indeed unconstituational, then he should have brought the issue before the Supreme Court

James Madison and Thomas Jefferson might disagree.

It's arguable as to whether the power of judicial review is really granted to the U.S. Supreme Court - I'm not arguing otherwise - but the Atlasian Constitution is quite clear on the matter.

I'm not even defending StatesRights. I'm just pointing out that (A) the law should have been void upon the limitation of federal power, (B) the new constitution has not yet taken effect, and (C) it remains up for debate whether the fed is supreme over the states until it does so.

On grounds of C, I don't see how a 'region' can be denied the right to enforce the constitution.

Philip may have a point here with (A) and possibly (B), (C) is pointless with the Powers of the Senate clause.  As for me, I'm going to let the Courts determine what is our best course of action here in this instance, since it is very much within their sphere to determine.

[Sam Spade]

No, C is not pointless, it's the most important part. Maybe you don't understand. You can't just edit a document that isn't the supreme law of the land to say it is an expect people to listen. It has to be given that status by the authority presently holding it.

The Powers of the Senate constitutional amendment and the Supremacy of Federal Law and the Constitution amendment refute your point quite easily.

The only valid argument presented is whether these amendments apply to previous legislation, since we had a Supreme Court case before the amendments which declared pretty much every law unconstitutional then because of the lack of the these two amendments above.
