I just read the case. The court will not even touch the question. If the leaders of the Senate and the House say it passed, it passed. It’s a political question, not a constitutional question.

I love Mark Levin, but I knew he was wrong, I suspect he did as well. While this does, IMHO, violate the spirit of the Constitution and the Founder's intent, as you say, it's not a justiciable problem for the Courts.

That is going to be a rather unpopular realization here, but Public Citizen is what it is.

I read enough of it, and the complaint, to realize the subject wasn’t even the use of a “self executing” rule. In this case, the two chambers literally DID pass different laws, by voting on different language. And still, whatever was sent to the president (the Senate version) was held to be law.

Well then, if they won't rule on the Constitutionality of disobeying the Constitution, it will make it easy for them to DEEM a rule to abolish free elections, now, won't it?

Because after all, they won't rule on politics.

Or will they?
