Repeal the Hughes Amendment

We are getting off track enough I can't imagine this will persist much longer, but I am quite certain judicial review does not extend to making clear cut rules. I am not at all sure the founders intended judicial review to be anything close to as powerful as it is now and certainly not more powerful. I do think it is necessary to maintain a real checks and balances, although I doubt that was why John Marshall expanded the powers as he did.

The 2A looks pretty straight forward and yet.... and yet most congressmen and women and most senators now and in the past are or were lawyers. People who should have a better idea of the founders origional intent... yet they clearly vote for unconstituional laws with a total lack of concern and alarming regularity.

The problem is we have evolved into mob rule... whoever has the majority makes the rules without regard to the minority.... A very specific thing the founders worried about and took steps (electorial college) to try to prevent.

We better thank our lucky stars for judicial review or there would be no balance to "group think" in law....
