Obviously if we had a judiciary system that would do its job in applying the Constitution to every law (especially the obvious infringements) we might not be in a 20,000 gun laws situation...
Nit picking whatever cases they do have the potential to opinion on, plays right into the infringing attitude and system the Federal and these State(s) legislature(s) have been doing to us, for way too long...
A lot of clearly un-Constitutional efforts could have been headed off at the pass, if even a cursory threat of a "supreme" judicial review were to be floated around...
I know of an interesting bill drafted, and ready to be filed, for the next Texas Legislative session that will take care of a big thorn thrusted into us by the Feds recently...If enacted, it will give the state of Texas the ability to do a "time out" (if determined to be un-Constitutional, we will not comply) on a lot of Federal laws that are questionable in their Constitutionality...It has fangs, not just teeth...So its application at first will deal with the first problem...Once that is dealt with, well, lawyers love precedence...And this one definitely has the potential to line up the dominos for them to fall with a single push...
I have a copy of the bill, but have been asked to not publish it, or give out any details, till it is filed...I think it is that important to not allow it to be deciphered until it is in work this next year...I really wish I could let y'all see it, it truely will be a very big deal in the next session...
