State and Federal criminal laws, among others.

It wasn't a trick question, I'm not clear on what you didn't
understand.


I was giving the benefit of the doubt. There's no similarity between
someone stealing a car and Congress or the President or the USSC acting
contrary to the Constitution.


IMHO, accusations that the USSC acts contrary to the Constituion
are typically hot air and sour grapes.

As to the Congress or the President, the USSC has just recently
stepped up to the plate and put them both in their places IRT
unconstituional law and unconstitutional executive action.

Even when ruings by the USSC are successfully defied, the
Constitution itself remains intact. The Constitution is
our contract with our government, the USSC is the arbiter
of that conract and when that arbiter sides with us it
is our job to collect.

Were essential elements of the Constitutino to be repealed, for
example to give the President the power to suspend habeas corpus,
levy taxes, or to establish courts martial then the Constitution
would no longer be intact. Until then, if our government
defies the Constitution successfully we can only blame our lack
wisdom and resolve as citizens for our failure to force our
government to comply with our Constitution.

Yet the Constituion itself will remain intact, patiently awaiting
enforcement by a people of higher character.
