Hearing Harry Reid petulantly stating that "it's the law!" reminded me of something.
Slavery was the law.
Prohibition was the law.
Chattel wives was the law.
The ban on "assault weapons" was the law.
If making something "the law" makes it eternal and inviolable, why are so many things "was"?
The truth is, passing a law is not the guaranteed end of the struggle. Any and all laws are subject to not only Congress revisiting them and repealing but to the Supreme Court nullification.
Repealing a law is the exact same process as enacting one. And there's nothing about any law that makes it sacrosanct from this treatment. Any congressperson can draft a bill repealing any law, and it goes through the process of committees and votes like any other bill.
Well, Mr Reid, The House passed a bill. The Senate is not allowed to ignore it. I looked it up.
Someone doesn't understand how this bicameral legislature is supposed to work; and it's not the House of Representatives, their speaker or the party presently in the majority.
