      The Supreme court is supreme. Congress can pass statutes which contradict the supreme court rulings, but the supreme court could rule against the statute

      Well i always wondered why they even keep that bizarre medieval law system. Probably bacause of that, and of course to turn it into the arcane knowledge held by the literal lawyer caste in the service of the ruling class. Fun fact: i believe groups holding the power which operate on this base, were traditionally called “mandarins” in a derogative sense by the western media since XIX century.

      How can even libs call this “democracy”, especially happening en masse right before their eyes, is beyond me.

      Constitutional amendments have to be ratified by 2/3 of the states. The ruling class is too polarized to get this done for either party.
