Does anyone else find it absurd that a branch of the federal government, The Supreme Court, has the ultimate say on whether what the federal government does is or is not constitutional? Can one really expect to sue the Federal government in federal courts and expect an objective decision? Why would the states which created the federal government rest the ultimate interpretation of the constitution in the hands of the entity they drew up a constitution to strictly limit?
Can you imagine having a disagreement with any business, say Apple, and agreeing to have the disagreement decided by employees of Apple and expect a fair and objective decision? Most likely not. Likewise I cannot see how Americans stand for the idea that a branch of the federal government in the Supreme court should have the final say of what is constitutional especially when one of the parties being challenged (like in Obamacare) is the federal government.
PS where in the consitution does it say the final and ultimate decision maker of what is constitutional is the supreme court?
