Are Cabinet discussions above the OCG law?

[Jawge]

Federal courts cannot declare a law unconstitutional. The federa court is inferior to the supreme court (as deemed by the constitution). Only the supreme court can declare a law unconstitutional (as stated by the constitution). This process is called judicial review.

No court can pass a law not even at the state level. Courts interpret the law.

[Jawge]

madness has taken over the board.

Willi stop preaching from the pulpit of ignorance. Do you know what it takes to override a presidential veto? two thirds majority vote Check the records to see how many times this is achieved. Did you know that it takes the states in majority to ratify an amendment? Boss do your homework.

Next you will tell me it's the people that elects the president. Ever wonder why inauguration is in Jan?

[Jawge]

None is above the other. You have three branches: Legislative(congress) executive (president), Judicial (Supreme court). All three are designed to check each other. This is why some hailed the founding fathers as visionaries because it's as if they saw the future. Close inspection of the constitution will show that the framers and world power ambition and some tweaking (amendments) made it what it is today. Not taking anything from the framers though; they were good.

The govt. was first limited by the framers because they disliked the power of the monarchy in England (and wanted no copy of it in the US). This is why you have the first ten amendments (which is called the bill of rights)

Willi is correct

Congress is superior to the Supreme Court because of its ability to change the supreme law of the land...the Constitution.... which said Supreme Court is OBLIGED to enforce or interpret

The difficulty of effecting a constitutional revision is irrelevant to the determination of superiority.... Constitutional revisions enacted by Congress can and do occur...so that issue of its superiority is fait accompli

[Jawge]

Listen why don't you go speak to an authority on the matter instead of guessing? If congress is superior explain US vs Lopez 1995.

What does the word Superior mean? I will exit from here because clearly the inmates have taken over.

[Don1]

you exit because your argument has clearly failed

very good choice

[Jawge]

do you know what they call judicial review? When you explain US vs Lopez, you will see your folly. Not even going to address Brown vs board of education on the subject of seperate but equal.

[Muadib]

I suggest you pause and try a course of Critical Thinking...

What is the claim being made ?

Define the Terms..

Take it from there..

[Jawge]

I know you operate in a different reality but there exists truth. You may be super imposing Ja laws on hat of America. This is not Ja. The two cases cited were struck down as being unconstitutional by the supreme court.

In short congress can pass all the law it wants, even it escapes the Presidential veto, it can be struck down by the supreme court. That's what thy call checks and balances. Just read and all this will be clear to you.

[Don1]

Kindly explain how a body is FORCED to accept the edicts of their supposedly equal counterpart ....namely the Constitutional revisions enacted by Congress which the Supreme Court is OBLIGED to enforce

And since you are no constitutional scholar nor is anyone else here as far as I can determine...references to case law which require expert interpretation are mere red herrings and are ultra vires to this discussion (although I recall Sass waxing poetic on the minutiae of arcane IP law a while back..so he may be helpful )

The 3 branches check each other...but in the final analysis Congress has a superior position due to its control of the constitution...and the purse strings

Thanks in advance

[Jawge]

Baby, give me that candy. what are you talking about? Congress enacted the Constitution? The constitution created congress. read about the articles of confederation then read about the Connecticut compromise.

Seriously I will not say a word more; this is getting too ridiculous.

[Muadib]

Who can alter the Constitution ?

[Jawge]

BTW you notice I can cite cases to back up my argument? Where is your facts and data to counter my arguments? Not one iota of facts just mumbo jumbo,you are only fooling yourself.

[Don1]

REVISIONS TO THE CONSTITUTION ARE ACTS OF CONGRESS

Yes.. it's full time you retire...you are out of your depth
