       If the Constitution is supposed to be the highest law of the land in the US, then why aren't members of government punished for violating it. Like if a law is unconstitutional doesn't that mean it violated the foundational and highest law? Shouldn't those that passed it have some punishment? At a minimum wouldn't the law being considered be an impeachment and they should be removed if found unconstitutional?

       @wdelaet @average_random_joe No but seeWho's gonna remove them? The constitution isn't the Bible, it can't defend itself. The point of the constitution is that THE PEOPLE are responsible for removing unconstitutional government.Or at least, as far as I can tell, it is. I haven't actually read it, I don't live there. But on a practical level it has to be, because there's nobody else above them to do this. The courts won't do it because the courts are effectively subservient to the governments.

       @Zerglingman @wdelaet The Judicial ruling it unconstitutional would. They have the power to jail all the time. Contempt of court and all. The ruling would vacate their position and slap them with some high crime. Well, we are an unconstitutional government and have been since at least 1803 when the Judicial invented powers to rule on Constitutionality and while I agree in having the power it has to be in the Constitution with checks and balances.

       @average_random_joe the constitution has a separate, but equal branches of government if one of those branches could punish any of the other branches of government that would violate the constitution

       @mac_ack First, it doesn't say that. The legislative branch is supposed to be the highest power and the executive subservient to it. Second, the Judicial deciding Constitutionality is unconstitutional. The Judicial was almost an afterthought. In fact all 3 can remove members of the other through impeachment. And it wouldn't violate the Constitution if it was specified in the Constitution by definition. And I am saying it probably would have been had Judicial Review actually been granted in it.

       @Viking @average_random_joe Except we've passed through the barrier of being a land ruled by laws and are now a land ruled by men.  It's been a long transition (Lincoln's numerous violations of the Constitution "in order to save the Constitution" being the big kick off), and it happens in degrees, but it's clear we're way past the tipping point.Since the judiciary system is now corrupt, there really isn't any more recourse.
