BUT – I know from decades of decisions that the federal courts are not a reliable source for stemming federal power.

Year after year, case after case – they have made decisions that are contrary to the constitution. And you think just having an individual now ask them will have them reverse how they rule?

Gonzales v Raich for example?

nah. let me know how that turns out for ya….

The reason why "the Supremes almost NEVER invalidate congress" is because no INDIVIDUAL (single human) goes in and asks them to!

I sure wish you would re-think your take on this "Bond" decision because it is the best case I've read!

Also, I've noticed that many lawyers are saying this is not a "landmark" case, and this is because no lawyer takes the perspective that the individual is more powerful than the attorney! (All attorney power comes from legislation.)
