That sounds like a challenge to Congress' authority over interstate commerce.

Meatball Ron is like 0 & 12 in Federal courts. There should be a federal three strikes law on signing unconstitutional bills into law.

It's long been a cornerstone of my political daydreams that federal charges should be filed, as a matter of course, against any lawmakers who vote for legislation later ruled unConstitutional.

WookieMunster ,

Should we also punish people for doing things that were not a crime when they did it but is now?

Grumps ,

No. But in the case of signing clearly unvetted laws, they were enacting things that weren't constitutional before -- and continue to not be constitutional now.

It doesn't have to be a felony. Maybe misdemeanor misrepresentation.

It should be illegal to pass or sign a bill you know is illegal or unconstitutional. But... Then we'd have to prove Republicans actually know the constitution.

I know that it’d be a dangerous precedent, but it’d be nice if Congress could pass a single-instance law requiring the replacement of a state government that is clearly operating outside the Constitution.
