    No, because as i understand it, you can change the meaning of words without directly challenging the constitution, and get what ever result you want. Like changing the definition of enemy combatant to mean any immigrant. Now retroactively you can pick or choose who is a REAL citizen.

      It’s worse than that. The Supreme Court can use any kind of specious logic they want to interpret the Constitution, or no logic at all (as they’ve done recently). And the only remedy within the system is impeachment of the “justices.”

      And what that means is that the law is whatever they say it is, unless and until they are held accountable.

      The system is broken. It won’t fix itself.
