The Constitution is the supreme law of the land - Why? Because the Constitution itself says so. It is the bases of the American rule of law - Why? Because anyone who works for any government in the U.S. local, state, and federal takes an oath to uphold the Constitution. Come what may.
In recent years congress has given federal agents the right to write their own search warrants even though the Constitution says only judges can do so. Congress has voted to make it a crime to tell anyone you received a self written search warrant even though the Constitution says congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. It is voted to put a federal bureaucrat between you and your doctor even though the Supreme Court has ruled that what you tell your doctor and what your doctor tells you is none of the governments business. And Congress has voted to give billions to its favorite banks and labor unions even though the Constitution definitely doesn’t permit that! -- What does this have to do with the Supreme Court? Everything! It’s the Supreme Courts job to decide if Congress has been faithful and honest in keeping their oath to the Constitution. Is what Congress does now Constitutional?
