2. Um, isn't that the way it already works?

Last I checked the Supreme Court is the final say on judicial acts already. Now the legislature determining the constitutionality of legislative acts is somewhat questionable. It seems to be a conflict of interest if they get to rule on their own actions. I think that's why the founding fathers set up executive and judicial branches to reign in the legislature.

Maybe all these people should have to take a course or two in the freaking Constitution and how it was written at a time when a king and the church ruled over everyone. Gees, freedom. What a concept.
