If it was repassed, it would be constitutional. The point is that it was not constitutional after the first limitation on federal power, thus making the law dead.

If it is indeed unconstituational, then he should have brought the issue before the Supreme Court in the first place. Instead, he took unilateral executive action.

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.

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.

Follow?

Would you mind telling me the name of the case, so that I can brush up on it? Will probably need it for the trial.
