Maybe you should try quoting to help the rest of us follow your internal monologue.

Status: offline 		Am I being polyanish? What troubles me is a comment that I believe one of the Supreme Court Justices said, If you don't like it, vote them out. If your standard is the lowest possible standard, you have no standards. This line of thinking likely originated with them. Such a low standard necessarily implies that the court is unwilling to uphold the constitution since low standards indicate a lack of willingness to accept constraint.

There is a Supreme Court.

The Constitution says that the legislature makes the law.  The Supreme Court has said, according to our constitution you make the law, if you don't like what your law means, change the fucking thing, it's YOUR job, not ours.  That isn't even a possibility of a legal interpretation or question, there is no grey area, Congress makes the l-a-w.

It is Constitutional in that it is consistent with an extrapolation, i.e. abstract version, of the Constitution. Pursuit of wealth for example is a key element. Participation is a key element. We are under going a paradigm shift. It is America 2.0.

With the global financial crisis of 2007 the idea of an unconstrained free market as something that works was discredited, however.

Status: offline 		What caused the collapse of the Constitution? It may have been gridlock since it is my impression that the absence of sustained gridlock is a presupposition made by the Constitution. Who is the most responsible for this gridlock? The Republican party. This would have served as motivation for the Supreme Court to look for other ways of thinking that could circumvent the clot.

You cannot reason in the absence of conflict. The conflict is, What is the truth? or stated another way Which is the truth? What is the solution? or stated another way Which is the solution?

Not actually true. There's other ways of reasoning than thesis antithesis and synthesis.
