As we no longer have a US Constitution;

"Nobody has ever actually passed and signed a bill that would explicitly exempt legislation from judicial review. This is unprecedented and if it happens it should trigger a constitutional crisis.

If congress can pass any laws it wants and declare them exempt from judicial review --- as with the Real ID bill -- and also peremptorily "bar judicially ordered compensation or injunction or other remedy for damages" then our system of checks and balances has been gutted.

There will be nothing to stop a majority, particularly if it ends the filibuster, from passing any laws it chooses with a simple majority and exempting all of them from judicial review for constitutionality. In other words, the constitution says what the majority says it says."

And in other other words, mob rules and the US Constitution no longer exists.

1. I don't think it has existed since the day Bush took office.
These crooks have no intention of being ruled by a document.

2. I'd like to see it allmade official tho; fascist military dictatorship,
USC invalid, bush the World King, liberals, Independants, Greens, Democrats = traitors, etc.

It's just nice to have things all official; helps keep everyone on the same page.
