The Statute against treason.
And, the law-making procedure in the Constitution.

Where do you find that the Courts are qualified to declare laws unconstitutional?
Why is it that you would rather the courts strike down the representative

needs to rush things through court? LOL!
Is it because they are afraid they are going to be punished?
